Surf's Up

Happy grooving mix of two saxes and drums (with occasional variations). Mixes up New Orleans party jazz with some fusion covers. Manages to get quite funky considering there's no bass -- basslines frequently supplied by baritone/bass sax. A good time all 'round.

Some nice covers here -- track 1 by Joe Zawinul, track 3 by David Murray.

1- Happy and swinging party song.
2- Burly funk, a mid/slow groove that's lotsa fun.
3- Joyous midtempo, done in a march feel like Alber Ayler would
4- New Orleans jazz
5- Chugging mid/fast groove
6- Slow, with mildly exotic Middle-Eastern feel
7- N'awlins classic, a nice busy groove
8- Latin groove (with a touch of the tropics); soaring minor key
9- Sneaky clarinet groove
10- New Orleans stomp meets North African bazaar
