I like all music, don't matter which category the theorists dump it in. I just think it takes a lot more genius to write and perform an engaging piece. It goes for all forms of entertainment.

The drums are mechanical and could be replaced by a drum machine and nobody would notice — this guy seems to only know one lick. It's painful to listen to the beautiful sounds of a Hammond brutalized by heavy digital effects and processed within an inch of its life.
Fine by me - jazz sucks the big one to these ears. Your comment reminds me of my jazzophile father, to whom technical virtuosity was the main criterion for judging jazz numbers. Never mind that it sounded like a herd of tomcats on heat, if it's fiendishly difficult to play and hasall sorts of esoteric musical techniques in the scoring, it's the dog's bollox in his view. As a non-sophisto myself, I'll take something with a decent toon, without all the self-indulgent noodling and discords and ear-mangling percussion that so characterises 'sophisto-jazz'. This number may be more processed than a can of baked beans but it sounds good, and that's all I give a monkeys about. |

Sounds like the hipster from Portlandia is a master baiter. I guess I always thought that John Scofield was an actual, fully credentialed, jazz guitarist. |

That song was like a four course meal. Very tasty and quite satisfying.

The drums are mechanical and could be replaced by a drum machine and nobody would notice — this guy seems to only know one lick. It's painful to listen to the beautiful sounds of a Hammond brutalized by heavy digital effects and processed within an inch of its life. This is truly a great example of what you can buy with a whole lot of studio time and unlimited digital post-production. |

I have the "Still Warm" album and thought this track was on it, but I don't see "A Go Go" on its track list. Love that album - it's getting played this weekend. |

The local CBC station used to play this song as background for their traffic report! I keep waiting for Bill to give the traffic info  |
