Proof that Jazz in America is it's most valuable asset

"Today I got the CD and I was sitting in the car, in the garage, with bags of groceries and takeout food getting cold while I couldn't take it out of the player until I'd heard it all. I can hardly remember another album that made think I was sitting in the music. It's amazing. It's really amazing. So much freedom and so much control: abstract electronics and acoustic grit. Dynamics - like the CD notes said, and I thought was probably an exaggeration - it IS "music as a hurricane force, a rollercoaster of jubilation" all of that and more. And it makes his concerts in places like Denmark or London seem like a short distance to travel. If anyone ever needed proof that Jazz in America is it's most valuable asset - this could be it."
