Where else in Jamendo can find straight ahead jazz that's havin this much fun? ..didn't think so...
I hear sweet guitar lines that remind me Charlie Christian, crazy aspects of Dizzy, solid bass (crazy bowing solo!- track 4)support with taste, horns kill it throughout - drums = in the pocket.
and yes - it's essentially free jazz - but isn't that the very definition of jazz? - it can be tight as a hat - or blowing loose and having a blast!
I seriously Enjoy this stuff! - btw who pens the themes on these tunes - is that you, Pharma? Wow!
I can relate to the cassette tape on the cover - I have boxes w/miles of cassette tapes from back in the day - amoungst the tapes are a few gems -
