Re: New Age Music

[Tim Nelson <psychle62@yahoo.com>]

Kinda goes to show how inadequate putting labels on
musical styles can be sometimes.

I mean, Yanni and Robert Rich have both been called
New Age, but I wouldn't consider their music remotely
similar. Or when David Torn was on Windham Hill, it
didn't make him sound like Will Ackerman & George
Winston, although to someone who'd never heard him and
was flipping through the bins at the local Sam Goody,
that might be the impression just based on the label's
reputation.

John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Kenny G., Manhattan
Transfer, the ECM roster, Dixieland bands and "the
Tzadik crowd" are all "jazz" artists, right? Talk
about strange bedfellows...
