Just now listening to Herbie Nichols, 'The Complete Blue Note Recordings', curated by Michael Cuscuna, and featuring Al McKibbon, Teddy Kotick, Art Blakey and Max Roach. Herbie was a gifted musician, inspired by the Western classical canon and through that pioneering new forms for jazz and creating some marvellous jazz music. It's a pity his life was cut short, passing away in 1963 at the age of only 44 (leukaemia).
Just discovered Steve Hunt today on Spotify, what an amazing musician with a amazing resume and now a music Professor at Berkeley. Jazz Improv at its best! This album Kicks ass! Influences and grooves are thick on this one. Serious deep, lint in the bottom, pocket playing here. https://www.elektrikmarketband.com/
It's ok, not the best quality live recording from twenty years ago.
It's "energized" jazz to wake you up on a Sunday morning with the sun high in the sky.
No whisper here, indeed.

Yeah, like Glenn Gould. And both are also highly gestual playing the piano.
But the whispering you can hear.
Keith Jarrett is quite demanding of his audiences; he hates cell phones...ringing and flashing.
That turns him off. Musicians they come with their style and character; they are the masters, not us. Some are extremely friendly and accommodating, others are extremely demanding and easily turned off. Jarrett and Gould I like them both a lot; they have beautiful music recordings, live performances, ...I take them the way they are...with whispers.
