Guitar/bass/drums trio that brings a groove/hippie-jam ethos into its brand of jazz/rock. Some tracks have a good "rockin' jazz" feel, of that's your thing (2,7,10,13, others). Some have a decent funk thing going on (1,7). Some just fall flat as rockers thinking they're doing jazz, and a couple get unforgiveably cheesy. Solos fit the bill but don't exactly push any boundaries. FCC clean.

See also Living Daylights, a Seattle band that has a deeper sense of funk and more jazz chops (and a sax).

1- Funky groove, mid/fast
2- Fast light groove, heavy wah-wah guitar
3- Gently mid/fast swaying, almost a little country-ish
4- Mid/fast blues digging
6- Mildly bluesy melody, with a pretty (slightly cheesy) section later on
7- Funky mid/fast groove with an airy, jangly guitar middle
8- Grinding industrial noises, big and slowish. Atypical but cool!
9- Ew, smooth jazz
10- Guitar jump, funky rock.
11- Mid/fast, samba-like, spritely
12- Exotic Middle Eastern feel in buzzy guitar notes. Mid/fast
13- Loud stomping riff, slow/mid pace.
14- Lite-rock acoustic guitar. Pass.
15- Blip of gentle guitar chiming.
