Instead of relying on nimble fingers and amazing 'chops', he made a name for himself through thoughtful and deliberate improvisations, and later, unconventional styles and compositions. I'm much less a fan of his than most jazz listeners are (I still think he's given too much credit for the genesis of cool jazz), but he's one of the relatively few musicians whose influence has widely crossed genre boundaries.</p>blankTue, 05 Aug 2008 16:57:27 -0000
