As for the litmus test, maybe Chad doesn't really dig playing ballads that much. I'm not crazy about it myself. My interests are mostly elsewhere.
The guy is like 30 or something. Coltrane recorded that when he was about 7 years older. Check back on Chad in 2028.

The whole discussion shows what a player Chad is. The great young musician is already being compared to the giants.

Young is just a term. Lots of interesting ideas and a lot of creative recordings before him.
I suspect the debaters here are much older.

It should be noted that the cutoff for "young" is always a few years older than I happen to be at the moment.

I don't know Chad's work and wouldn't reach a conclusion based on hearing one song I didn't like. Even if I thought it sucked, it's certainly possible he was trying something new and he didn't like it either. Or, it's possible that he's over my head and I'm not appreciating the artistry. I have walked out on players I later came to appreciate.
