I don't know what album it was, but when I tried those guys out, I found myself literally counting the seconds between each time the drummer tapped the hi-hat because there was just nothing else to hold my attention. I took it as a sign and moved on.
Aside from the new Fire! Orchestra, the only jazz I've listened to lately is tons of Nina Simone. Oh, and Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch made it onto my iPod for some reason.
