In Reply to: LOL. Amusing put down of Mike. So how about a few names of the iconoclast musicians you like - for context. posted by Rick W on January 19, 2022 at 23:06:48:
If we are just talking about "iconoclasts" at the top of my heap would be Monk, Mingus, and Ornette. After that, in no particular order: Rashaan Roland Kirk, Coltrane, Miles, Sonny Rollins, Cecil Taylor, Lester Bowie, Misha Mengelberg, Michael Moore, Lester Bowie, James Blood Ulmer, David Murray, William Parker, Hamid Drake, Kidd Jordan, Carla Bley, Albert Ayler, Steve Lacy, Milford Graves, Eric Dolphy, Wadada Leo Smith for a start--plenty others as well.
It is obvious that we have very different perspectives, and as far as I am concerned that is totally cool--it is what makes a world. And to me, jazz is a world that contains multitudes not just one true path.
