Paul Ramsey holds a pocket like an upright player on the straight-ahead stuff plus is TOTALLY on the one for funk beats. Hella fine player, hope he is alive and, if so, well.
These Chico records sound and feel like "small club" music. No sense in doing ginormous festival venues or shit like that, go like back in the day with neon lights on the wall (and some of them being beer brands), low ceilings, tables right up on the edge of the bandstand, maybe a small dance floor, and don't forget to tip your waitress. That kind of vibe, like, for jazz, doesn't really exist any more. Places to go hang while you get off on some groovy (but not stupid) jazz.
If you've been there, you know what I mean. and if you haven't....use your imagination and have some Champale or some Hennessey. Just show that you got style and class, even if for that moment. But you probably do, all the time.
And don't forget to tip your waitress.
