I'm pretty open to most jazz (and have played a fair amount of jazz guitar myself), but I do have a problem with intentionally discordant harmonies. IMHO this song set would be a lot more enjoyable without the brief moments of dissonance.




Dissonance is good!  GREAT TUNE!!

November 5, 2019: Just heard an NPR story about mellotrons, and it included Mr Medeski as a principal source.

If you're old enough to operate a computer and you still don't get it, you never will. Back to "Theme from Blue's Clues" for you.

Did I miss something? What does this have to do with reggae? Anyway, the beginning of this tune made me think of "Watching the Detectives" by Elvis Costello. EDIT AND NOTE TO SELF: Now I get it. Sometimes you have to listen to the whole song before commenting, DUMMY!

They have performed live here in Lexington, but I have never had the chance to see them. I hope they return. I won't miss the opportunity again.

Wish I could like jazz. I know that it is America's only ORIGINAL music form, but it just doesn't float my boat. I DO appreciate the chops that it takes to make jazz, however.

I agree. Shack man is sublime!

Ah yes. Great to hear some MMW. I saw them live a few years ago at First Ave in Minneapolis, and it was one of the best live shows I've seen.
Posted 20 years ago by anderiv    [ Reply ]
Ah.... MMW from back when they were really good. Shack-Man is their best album, IMO, but this song set is sweet.
