Departure Point

I’ve just recently begun reading The Bad Plus blog every day. The blogs are pretty much written by Ethan – since I’ve started reading, I don’t think anyone else has contributed. Anyway, it’s interesting.

I was going to write a huge post about how much Points of Departure by Andrew Hill meant to me, but Ethan does a far better job, and is much more knowledgeable than I am. I’m gonna pass the buck. Do yourself a favor and check out his blog. And, if you can, check him out with Buffalo Collision in Philly tonight.

Sometimes there isn’t much mystery in the things you listen to, but I’m always blown away by the things I hear coming from The Bad Plus. Now I can appreciate what they write too.
