Thollem is kind of a jazz pianist/singer but with a distinctly oddball bent. Like cabaret music but with fast aggressive piano, verbose lyrics, and lots of melodrama. Louden Wainwright III on speed. Great stuff. Thollem's playing is unique -- derived from jazz, with a hyperactive attitude and densely packed twists and turns. Crystal clear and not at all sloppy. Accompanied by Rick Rivera on drums. The songs are fun, if a little surreal, and the instrumentals are really cool (4,9). 1- Rapid-fire lyrics and a strong beat 2- Choppy main theme, lots of crashing moments 3- Fast patter 4- Fast piano patter after a restrained drum solo 5- Crashing and crazy. Simple, happy melody; morbid lyrics 6- Like a mini-musical. Often big and loud 7- Insane, fast. Vaguely sexual theme. 8- Bluesy strut. Same title as #3 but way different 9- "Real jazz" piano, fast start then calms down 10- Jaunting, swaggering cabaret feel 11- Fast and crazy; includes a really long, near-silent gap 12- Often quiet while still fairly fast. Nice drum fills. 13- Slowish, dramatic. In Spanish. | ||
