I stumbled across a video on YouTube that was kind of explaining the theory behind modal jazz, and while the technical stuff flew way over my head (I’m still a music theory light weight), I did find it interesting to hear it talk about how modal sort of opened a lot of avenues for musical expression.
But even from a laymen’s standpoint, I still feel like this is the jazz album that anyone can get into, and like you said, get lost in.
Thanks for the insightful comment. Much appreciated.
