His earlier stuff where he just sets a mood. He put you in that smokey bar where you just sit back and feel the music. And it didn't feel lazy but succinct. Of course he had the best players with him.
His later fusion jazz left me cold.
A lot of other players were better technically but they didn't get the song. A barrage of notes doesn't do it for me.
Louis Armstrong is the best for me. He could play one note and deliver the whole song. Billie and Ella but with a horn.
