Yeah, I hardly think Mr. Toral would have made a statement like that
and it's rather wrong to be judgemental towards his music for what his
label says.
I personally found the record to be very good.

it's not jazz...it's just...damn, it's just you wish he'd never let
his label state such nonsense. it's hard to listen to things,
especially when the guy was always good, when he's letting people
talk his work up to a degree that he will never reach. that's not a
diss to him, but seriously - how many people are really creating new
approaches to jazz these days? not many i'd wager, and certainly not
Mr Toral with this release.
I hasten to add, it's by no means terrible. It's not blowing me away,
nor making me that excited to give it a repeated listen (which i am
as we speak) but it's not terrible.

I missed that. I had no idea he went off into jazzbo-land. If
that's the
case, I need to listen and see if he's drifting off into fusion
hell. Last
person to pull that off well was Paul Schutze, in my opinion.
