It can be frustrating dealing with the jazz non-fan who doesn't care for the music because it's “difficult to understand.” In some cases, that completely misses the point. As I listen to Joe Morris' guitar and Mat Maneri's violin tentatively trading ideas, then pushing them farther "out," and finally launching new ones based on the resolutions – I'm struck by how much like life the process is – dealing with problems and coming to conclusions. Obviously, this isn't the only way to perceive the music, but the unsure listener needs to know that there is no “one true way.”
