Some of the best and craziest jazz ever. These guys were one of the first to DIGITALLY record music (at the birth of the Compact Disc).
This is a video of them doing the song “Toy Chest”.
I have almost every one of their albums (at least I did on cassette and some on CD).
Some of the most whistle’able tunes ever created. Guaranteed, if you listen to any of their music, you will whistle or hum it immediately after you hear it. The musicianship is astounding but the song writing is sooooooooooo sticky.
It’s also fun to watch the videos as they are such a time piece. Notice the old IBM PC AT and the first generation Macintosh behind keyboardist Billy Barber. This song is “Sideman”. Also notice how sticky the melodies are on these songs. Its like a drug!
…also couldn’t forget the song “funhouse” (so glad someone posted these on youtube).
This song stuck in my head so much, I couldn’t rest until I could at least FAKE the main theme of this song on a keyboard. It’s not that hard, but my god does the melody stick. Intoxicating!!!
Listen and get infected.
(and the sad part is. I still cant find all of their music on the internet 🙁 ) You can hear most, if not all, of their music on WMOM (of course).
