Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet - Navigation (Possibility Abstract X & XI) FLAC album

This album was my first experience of what some might call the "new jazz", if that means being a weird mix of improvisation of structure and music mixed with composition. I found the only way to enjoy it really was through close listening. And the same probably goes for all Firehouse! recordings. If you get distracted by anything, the jazz slips by unnoticed, or gets annoying. It's truly quirkful, insofar as it sounds like an endless stream of quirks, never devolves into noise. Pointillist and experimental, always turning away from you, so you have to chase it, like a rugby ball with an unpredictable bounce.
