In Reply to: Musicians whose total "concept" you just don't get. posted by andy evans on February 15, 2015 at 12:20:58:
Composers more than musicians, per se. #1 is Alkan. Just baffling. Considering when it was written, his music is beyond weird. When I last listened to it, it even contaminated the rest of the evening, making even Beethoven sound off kilter. I suspect that in Alkan's case what was alleged during his lifetime is really true. He was an incompentant composer, 2nd or 3rd rate, and the weirdness is just lack of talent and skill in creating music.
As for musicians, it's mostly jazz players who baffle me. Classical musicians are either repressed and wimpy, or not. But, of jazz musicians, Jackie Mclean sounds so awkward and arthritic, with truly awful tone. Dexter Gordon's sound often sounds like he's swallowing his reed, with a kind of choked sound.
