@LesterSleepsIn:
Have never found Chet all that appealing but as the saying goes, "There's no accounting for personal taste".
Bitches Brew? When I'm in the mood, sure but not, for me, a "Desert Island Disc".
I much prefer the Hancock, Shorter, Carter, Williams band -- for me, that group and those compositions strike the perfect balance between inside/outside.
When it comes to bari, I enjoy Serge Chaloff, Gary Smulyan and Nick Brignola.
