Genius Mat Waldron.

Having nothing to do with Satie does not by definition make it 'horrible'. Jazz is improvisation, classical music isn't. That's what differentiates the two. You cannot criticize music simply because it is performed in the style of jazz and not classical. That is an elitist comment.

Why are you telling people what to do?

All I can say is: Mal Waldron was a very talented pianist, who apparently liked some -- or all -- of Satie's work. And he expressed that appreciation in his own way. If you don't like it, don't listen.

Gerhard Bauer

Mal always sounded like Mal - whatever he touched he made it his own.

@hanpasado …like Eric Satie is called to be. * afaik; otherwise Mal wouldn´t be playing his songs like this So, I dont agree too much to your oppinion - and feel to know much more about Mr. Satie than I would maybe get to know by listining to classically "played" classical music, like you seem to do.

@hanpasado as Mal Waldron playing got nottin to do with your personal sight on classical music, I wonder how far it got to do with Eric Saties personal view on music classically - as you classically expect Satie´s music to be done a certain (kind of) way, you might be avoiding to follow another perspective of another classical studied, jazz experienced, free musician who might deeply know about Monsieur Satie* and so express his experienced personal view on a rich spirit…

uh, Lord!

@hanpasado apropos Eric Satie was godfather of pop-music.

@hanpasado probably I love it because I like more Mal Waldron than Eric Satie?)

Horrible, this has got nothing to do with Satie. I always thought the habit of jazzing up (in a crappy way) classical music had died out in the end of the 1970s...
