Dear Claudio and dear list,
Eclectism is, by no means, welcome in the music bizniz,and it comes to mind that the thing we love to call Jazz is just that form of brilliant illumination that makes us want to call something...jazz(wicked).GP is to most a great example of this continuos innovative/collaborative approach toward sound!
Nevertheless,a more rational approach is, in our opinion, acceptable and welcome since it serves the work of the music historian...or critic and helps us all better understand and forward the verb...of jazz (Acid)!
with friday love...
cheers ZG2003
....
it emphasizes how innovative it is as well as make it limitless in the
directions it is and can go.
Why so much pressure to classify it into specific genres anyway?
......Call it whatever sounds good to you at the time, trust me we'll know what
you mean.
Peace
Claudio.

melodic

> Swell Session/Gone/Jimpster Remix ... again we see the prominent use of

> Fink/Sound of Today/Simple this track blends funk with broken beats to

> structures laced with lots of texture.
>
> Neon Phusion/It's Another/Laws of Motion a bit older track that fits
> right in. very very broken and strong sound. melodic & funky.
