I'm almost certain a lot of the visceral reactions against Beato stem from the non-verbal cues he displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Nathan Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I believe Collier is a savant. Clearly spectrum and hears at a level so much deeper than most, certainly more than anyone else I've seen mentioned in this thread. I don't always like his performances, but I respect his depth and find him much more intriguing than the numerous "shredders" cited. I can't stand listening to Rudess. He is imho all craft and no art. 5 1 Quote Don't rush me.

stoken6 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 In response to the "can't stand his voice" comments: that's his normal voice - he sings like he speaks. John Lennon was the same. By contrast I get turned off by singers who add affectation and mannerisms to their voices (see "cursive singing"). Cheers, Mike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends who hate Country twang and yodel, and friends who hate the raspy Rock vocals. I have no problem with either but can't stand Geddy Lee 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too processed for me, doesn't scratch any itch. His looks are fine, pretty average for the age group he's in. Quirky fashion harms absolutely nobody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I loved his early Gospel Jazz re-arrangements and had high expectations for what was to come, but never heard anything nearly as touching once he stopped channeling Take 6. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 👍 You're most welcome! Nothing embarrassing — it was commonly attributed to Bach until not too long ago. I merely happened to look it up a little while ago because I teach the piece regularly and now make a point of attributing it correctly to make up for centuries of incorrect credit. 🙂 2 Quote "The Angels of Libra are in the European vanguard of the [retro soul] movement" (Bill Buckley, Soul and Jazz and Funk) The Drawbars | off jazz organ trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the first Djesse album has a uniquely haunting vibe to it that simultaneously draws me in and puts me off. I think I really like it. 1 Quote "The Angels of Libra are in the European vanguard of the [retro soul] movement" (Bill Buckley, Soul and Jazz and Funk) The Drawbars | off jazz organ trio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
