His most recent podcast ("I Want Your Sax") is, to my ear, a total disaster.

It's a music episode, and features lots of "great" jazz saxophones. Most of the tracks sound like someone was tickling the saxophonist, and the one I'm listening to now sounds like someone hooked a sax up to the bag from a set of bagpipes and then started jumping up and down on it.

Blah. There's a reason my favorite jazz is from the Big Band era.

Not a Coltrane fan, then? :) I actually really do like that less "pretty" style of playing, but I admit it was an acquired taste.

This album's kind of midway between the two styles:

I sorta like Coltrane from time to time, but anybody who starts from Coltrane and then goes on from there... it makes my head hurt.
