I lay upwards closed to Duke Ellington in addition to Louis Armstrong alongside this morning's post, in addition to hence I'm going dorsum to Dylan-bashing alongside something different. This isn't actually jazz, only it's jazz-adjacent.
Back inwards the '70s, Randall Bramblett played saxophone for a jazz-rock fusion offshoot from the Allman Brothers called Sea Level. He every bit good has a raspy phonation that
works, dissimilar Dylan's, and, inwards my opinion, is a amend writer. Here he is, doing a classify of modern beatnik thing, consummate alongside closed to of his jazzy saxophone playing. The album is a slap-up slice of work, musing on growing upwards every bit a white man child inwards the South, listening to blues, R&B, in addition to other materials that he wasn't supposed to, combined alongside other materials nearly regional identity, and, well, it's a slap-up album. And he's amend than Dylan.
