Indeed - and sadly IMO it's nowhere near as good as "Ah.. Um"

Too much of a mis-match. Didn't get past Disc 2. Can't say I like it much, so off to the charity shop with it.
Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

I hear what you say, but if I'm not interested in a recording on first listen, then I'm unlikely to persevere with it. I listened to the first two discs of the Kamasi Washington recording, and it really did nothing for me, and I don't think it would on repeated attempts. Life is too short - I have a whole backlog of King Crimson to listen to.
However there has been the rare occasion when I have had a Damascene conversion: for years I couldn't stand Neil Young's thin, weak and whiney voice, then overnight for some reason I had a change of opinion and now have a copy of more or less his entire output.

What Jazz or Blues are you spinning?
I was late discovering the great John Lee Hooke an artist whose music spanned seven decades!

Nice choice Mark - but I wouldn't call it either Blues or Jazz.
