It's not, not really. Good tune selection, but not a good feel to the music, imo.

Is it?

Oh, the joke would be on them, fake orgasms and "lab band" are virtually synonymous!

Cool! Is this the "type" of thing she does, if not exactly regularly, at least on occasion? With her dancing/ballet background, it seems like it might be a natural enough fit?

Leslie Caron?

Well, I can.

IG Culture. This man knows what he's doing. He's got chops, he's got a vision (i.e. - a strong sense of purpose and narrative), and he's always making choices that are in line with that. I don't even know if this counts a "nu" ("genre" don't mean shit to me except as, at best a general directional marker). It damn sure ain't new, this stuff has been happening for a while now, good, bad, great, shitty, like all music, like all people. This is more than 20 years old, and it's rooted in 70s Herbie, which in turn was rooted in...you get the idea. Those who wished it would all just go away, who expected that it would all go away, well...it didn't. And if there's a lot of it that goes back and basically puts on new socks and thinks it's a whole new outfit, there's also people who know how to wear that shit, tweak it, and keep it fresh and sharp, make it relevant, not retro. Those are the people to always look for, no mater where they are.

At least 2 (the ones I still remember from radio) - "59th Street Bridge Song" and "Last Dance" (yeah, the Donna Summer one). Maybe more. I don't know, it's not a record I return to often these days, but it's good enough to have around if you've never heard it. Don't let those two tunes put you off, either. The former is nothing at all like the original, and the latter has Billy Higgins playing the swingingest "disco" bet you' ever heard. Joe plays really meaty solos on both, too.

What's the team BA?

I really like to hear Barton's drumming with this band. I like to hear Morris Jennings' drumming with this bad as well!

There it is. Nobody will understand everything everybody does, but we should all hope to recognize when the person doing it knows what they're doing. It not asking too much to expect that much out of damn near anybody, is it?

no need to listen to something you don't like, but getting pissy about a word that really doesn't mean shit today is not going to get you anywhere except where you already are, if anything, it'll just take you backward. "Jazz" is having far more evil things done to it than having "nu" attached to it.

Joe's only on one cut - the last one. The album itself pretty much sucks, I've never like Ben Sidran, but I bought the LP in a cutout bin really cheap and allow it on my shelves simple for Joe. Rush Hour is "pretty good", actually. Backing Vocals – Dee Henrichs Bass – Herbie Lewis (tracks: B2, B3, B4), John Heard (tracks: A1-A4, B1) Cello – Debbie Yamak Congas – Victor Pantoja Drums – Billy Higgins Piano – Kirk Lightsey Tenor Saxophone – Joe Henderson Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Vocals, Producer – Jerry Rush Viola – Brenda Liu Violin – Jean Hugo, Ronnie Hallman (tracks: A1, B4) But - both the Sidran cut and the Rush cuts with Joe were in pretty heavy rotation on the AM jazz radio here in the late 70s. None of this insular playlist/Sirius crap we have to settle for today, just good, honest, AM radio jazz, with commercials, static, and commercials for all different kinds of shit.

and it is sometimes as musical and thoughtful (if indeed there's a difference) as Kenny G isn't, ever. Like porn, I recognize a good and interesting choice when I hear it. And music in general, also like porn, is on the whole severely lacking in both. But then... Neither nu nor jazz (and really, "real jazz", if the people who play "play it" aren't dead, damn near all of the ideas and energies that fueled it are), but those are choices I'd never think of, and they're damn well executed, so...yeah. Also, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it.

Real Joe-a-philliacs are going to want to have Rush Hour and The Cat And The Hat looooong before this one, imo.

One of more continuously misanthropic motion pictures I've seen in quite a while. But good lord, that Helen Walker was slinky-sexy as hell! Trivia note - somebody sings Duke Ellington/Don George's "Every Hour On The Hour". and who was ann Jenkins?

I've seen that one picture of The Haig from the outside that's been out there for a while, and it sure looks small. How many people/tables did it actually seat,?

I'd sue the fuck out of both the cable company and the Rangers.
