I’m still trying to figure out what new music he’s listening to. 1,000 albums a year but not one example of what music it is. To me Ted’s still listening via many cliches. Too much narrative and not enough individual voice. Not sure he’s been very open to the truly new & creative within improvising circles. Again if he mentioned some actual recordings or musicians that are creating the new and non-repeated that would have given the interview some worth. 

I do like what he says about Audio Vs Video. He’s very accurate about that.

You can just look on his website and see his annual 100 best albums list. http://tedgioia.com/bestalbumsof2018.html

Good interview. Thanks for posting.

I found it hilarious that he admitted to listening to the Monkees and was embarrassed by listening to ELP. If it was the dreadful Love Beach, then I would understand...
