I tend to enjoy wild big band performances like with Buddy Rich or similar. It gives me a feeling not unlike sometimes, seeing any other huge, complex works of art, and zooming in on different areas and discovering new aspects and treasures, and then zooming out again to see how it interacts with the larger artwork. One of my favourites is Channel One suite for a mix of insane solos and insane, chaotic parts with the full orchestra going full blast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9429C1yps_c&t=2222s There's something so intensely satisfying about when, after an exhausting solo, the rest of the band joins in with a seemless, perfect transition. Like a cold hand entering a warm, perfectly fitting glove. An example is 44 minutes into the video, about seven minutes into the number. I just can't get enough of when the bass, drums and the rest joins the sax. I also hear that Buddy Rich was a great people leader and lovely human being. as I generally love noisy big bands, I find it odd that my other favourite is so very different. Radka Toneff singing "Moon's a Harsh Mistress", from the album Fairytales. One singer with an accompanying piano is absolutely heart braking in its naked simplicity. I tend to find this style of music, slow and emotional jazz, rather dull. But this song catches me every time, right from the cold opening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i5fXjJX18M
