My older son bought me this for Christmas last year, because he knows I heard it on Radio Paradise.  He's a good son, and this is a kick-ass CD.

This after Al Stewart's Roads to Moscow is just plain SLY FUN, on musical AND literary planes...  And what a chill jam this number is.  To have seen them do it in front of me in Tokyo a couple years ago makes it even more visceral and forever real.  ALL PRAISE TO RP!

Can't think of any other place to hear Al Sterwart followed by a song like this.  Thanks Bill.

Does the drummer know anything other than this one lick he uses for almost every one of their songs?
 
I think this tune's meant to be "repetitive" - it's often an attribute of this genre.  I'm sure the drummer knows other licks, but I have not heard "almost every one of their songs" from their 15-or-so albums.

No doubt fine musicianship, but it's a long, long intro for something that never happens...

I liked this CD enough to buy it when it first came out. I'm sorry I did. Now after a few listens its boring, uninspiring, and mechanical.

Very cool, snazzy, jazzy. Feels almost like I'm walking through the Pottery Barn at the mall, or maybe grabbing some Panera Bread, smuggling in the Gin of course.

Way too early in the day for a gin and tonic - but I can TASTE it!  The setting should be a roof terrace in house on a Greek island, on a day bed with white floaty curtains and lots of cushions........

Sadly it is raining heavily and I am in an attic room in Brighton - working on a SATURDAY!!!!

I saw them last weekend in Jackson Hole and had a large G&T going at the time. Was good. Both were.  Good.

Yeah, definitely cool and laid-back. But also it somehow just doodles along on the surface and never goes deeper.
A good solid 7.

Both the drumming and keyboard work are reminiscent of, tho' hardly on a par with to be honest, Miles Davis's Bitches Brew/In a Silent Way era output in the late '60s and early '70s


Yeah, hey, you're right! True: nothing could ever be 'on par with' the inimitable Bitches Brew.
Still...sounds good!

"Cutting a long stalk of celery" eh? Sounds like a euphemism for ... something.
