I checked out your stuff great vibe chops and cool tunes." elster@erols.com##"I think your material is fabulous" Freeaudioplayer@cs.com##"Hello Errol Rackipov! I have just finished listening to all of the songs on your site, and I must say that I have been thoroughly entertained and musically exercised. WOW! Your material is quite ingenious, and the quality of your musicianship & production is excellent. Please allow me to make a personal remark here: I have been contacted by many artists calling themselves "Jazz" players and composers, yet when I go to their sites and listen, far too often I leave there thinking that I don't get it; I wonder to myself if I am perhaps not sophisticated enough to know great jazz when I hear it.Great jazz does not have to be devoid of melody. On the contrary, it is a part of the challenge for a great jazz composer/player to see how far they can "stretch my ears" away from the foundation of the theme without me totally loosing a sense of the root from which the tree springs forth. Anyone can play disassociated tones at random intervals on unrelatedinstruments (and throw in a few bombastic flourishes now and again) and call it "Jazz". Surely there are some who do this in a manner approaching genius. However, far too often the attempt falls short of the mark, and the result is simply annoying at best.Thank you, Errol, for sharing your Jazz with me. I get it, and I like it! I'll be adding many of your songs to my playlist. I hope to hear from other artists of all genres who meet your standard of excellence.
