RE: Stick to geniuses.

Posted by magiccarpetride on July 5, 2012 at 10:57:48:

"Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Clifford Brown, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus."

Great list. The only one of those geniuses I could never get into is Duke Ellington. To this day, I remain mystified as to why is he so revered as a jazz genius. True, he was very prolific, but most of his tunes sound to me half-baked. Some of his pieces are even overly ambitious to the point of sounding contrived. Can someone enlighten me?
