Water From an Ancient Well

Pleasant enough, but does fade into the background

Solid album. Well played jazz. Not my favorite in the genre. It's pretty laid back. I want to call it background music for a fancy cafe, but that's insulting and dismissive. I guess nothing really sticks out to me and that's why I feel that.

I thought this was fine. I was able to listen to it.

Mostly stays in a chill , low-key mood which admittedly isn't my go to with jazz but they do a good job of filling out very lush textures.

Schnödes Bigband, Piano und Jazz Arrangement. Es war nicht inspirierend und eher langweilig bis unangenehm.

There are a few jazz albums I like and then there’s stuff like this that all sounds the same

Smooth but unpredictable in the nice ways that make my brain smile. Made me happy and didn't outstay its welcome. Also the history of his music is cool.

Jazzzzzzz.. Nothing special comes to mind.

Perfectly wonderful jazz. Not my thing.

Water From An Ancient Well is a pretty decent jazz album that does have some flaws. The music is generally pretty relaxing and even beautiful when it wants to be (The Mountain is a big example of this) and generally is something i like when it comes to a jazz album. The album did go on for pretty long which could cause the melodies to get a little repetitive and the song transitions could also use some work but other than that, it is a fine and good jazz album that i liked the whole way through.
Best Song: The Mountain
Worst Song: Manenberg Revisited

Fun album, but not all that unique for the genre

8 songs in 47 minutes - and no words - makes for background music in my book; but very pleasant background music at that. Loses a point due to my own biases and knowledge gaps, both of which I am enjoying rectifying through this list (and planning listening for once I am done)

A very enjoyable jazz album. Not 5* because I don't know if I'd go back to it.

Enjoyable jazz that is extremely thin and forgotten mere moments after listening. That isn't to say the album is bad, but the whole thing feels like it is meant to be the soundtrack to an old Disney Silly Symphony. Y'know, the things that Disney used to sync their animations with? The music is okay enough, but it just feels like jazz music purely meant to elicit relaxed vibes, and nothing more. A soundtrack to an Olive Garden, perhaps? Or something more spicy, like the Old Spaghetti Factory? Either way, the music is sound, it's fine, but would you catch me listening to it in my free time? Hell no. The instrumentation is fine, the variation is fine, the improvisation is fine, it is all FINE. But there has to be better jazz coming out of the mid-80s, yes?

Jazz africano. Tranquilito y bonito. No digo que no haya que escucharlo, pero no lo veo trascendente. Me gustó bastante The Mountain.

This was some good jazz. Not exceptional, but good. 3/5.

This is some really smooth jazz. Some of the better jazz I've heard on this generator. It's got a bit of an African/mid-eastern vibe to it. Especially in the song "The Mountain".

Favourite songs: The Mountain, Mandela, The Wedding, Tuang Guru, Manenberg Revisited

Least favourite songs: Sameeda

4/5

Fine enough, not the best Ibrahim album I've heard

This was great! I wish the bass was higher in the mix because the bass playing on this album is stellar.
