Everything has its moments. I always believed that the “acquired taste” is something much more instinctive that it’s considered to be. It may be a step-by-step procedure, but each one of these steps is a spontaneous one. If the listener is sympathetic to the music from the start [not that he is …obliged to be] he/she listen to it until he/she “understands”. Sympathy is the key to understanding.
Thank you very much!

The abstract style is challenging for traditional music listeners…an acquired taste I think. Definitely not a toe-tapper like Bix 🙂

This stuff demands more than one hearing [if someone feels the urge to do so, that is…].
The first 2 tracks are from the …’1910s and ‘1920s respectively. The third is from 1963. This guy was the real deal, ridiculously ahead of his time. Thanks a lot!

I can hear it forerunning modern electronic music.
The opening shot is fab. It could be in the 1970’s, but it can’t be.
