Is it’s just a single song that you’ve specifically chosen in the Hard Bop genre will cause it to happen or is there a full album up above in the Queue that causes it to happen?
Generally I’ll have roon radio play after an album, but I always was under the impression that Roon Radio based its algorithm off the last song in the queue.
Might be wrong about that.
Sometimes I’ll model roon after an artist or something, but this happens after I play an album, generally.
Yes, I agree to most of it, also to Henderson’s later albums for sure being not groundbreaking and also Shorters distance from someone like Coltrane.
I learned a lot about Rollins‘ role (thanks!) and, although I already initially assumed, my judgement is based on this, I got even more aware, that it’s based on my personal taste and impression, that Rollins‘ playing for me wasn’t as deep as Coltrane’s at their best times, not as differently better than several others at this time and in terms of compositions or musical integration in more modern sounds, he didn’t develop enough for my taste in later times. All that related to his immense reputation.
But I realized that most of this has little to do with the historical value of his activities in different bands through different eras of his high time, which (except for a good bunch of his albums) didn’t get the appreciation they obviously deserve within just my personal taste, especially when set on a level with other, also non sax playing geniuses.
I’m listening to some J.J. Johnson Columbia albums from '59 and '60 and hearing two saxophonists who were at that time showing their Rollins influence: Bobby Jaspar and Clifford Jordan. Both were artists who deserved more recording dates though they had some and that I think our OP “Sloop” John B may enjoy exploring the work of as leaders and sidemen.
Been there! One of my favorite places. I worked the '94 Lillehammer Winter Olympics and was fortunate to see quite a bit of Norway. I’ve been back several times since.
If you are mostly media I think your streaming serup is all you need to sample new music and then purchase what you like. Streaming and/or local files is yet another rabbit hole of endless possibilities.
