Desolation and Fantasy
There is something deeply satisfying about jazz. From all music genres, it is perhaps the only one still holding on stubbornly to modern idealism trying to keep finding new harmonic and rythm innovations. The result is amazing, complex rythm, otherwordly harmonic progression (if there is one at all), and musician physicality approaching olympic athlete. The complexity and scale of good jazz pieces lie entirely on other dimension. A soundtrack of a star that goes nova, explosion of music creativity limited only by law of physics. A head trip.Darcy James Argue's Secret Society - Desolation Sound

BTW, just to state the obvious.
Lonely woman is Ornette Coleman cover,
RunDown the VooDoo is Miles Davis Cover.
The Joshua redman rendition of lonely woman is obviously quoting from Drum n' Bass electronica. (truely amazing craftmanship. The do what people usually do with laptop.)

My favorite part from 'Desolation sound' is min. 4:35-5:01. It builds up, then collapses leaving the skeleton rythm section... It changes texture a lot too. I love it.
