I'm totally with you on this.
I can fully appreciate the expertise of the musicians. Each one is clearly at the top of their game. But the actual composition is a load of wanky shite.
This type of Jazz is the Tracy Emin of the music world. No doubt full of talent and ideas, but squandering it all in an attempt to be edgy and avant garde.
It's music for wine taster twats that like to twiddle their moustaches and talk about the "innovative juxtaposition of classic traditional melodies with modern, organic time signatures and a cheeky nod to Miles Davis." or some such cockery. I'm not sure anybody really 'enjoys' the music so much as appreciating it as vocally as possible in order to fit into a peer group they regard as higher up the pecking order than fans of Adele.
Basically just reminds me of when Radiohead started to dissappear up their own arses.
