SKAFISH: Tidings of Comfort and Joy
La Befana, 2006
CHRISTMAS JAZZ – Okay, so Skafish (“SKAY-fish”), onetime punk and new-wave pioneer, now makes clean-cut piano jazz. The tracks on this CD all have a light, cheery Xmas base, but listen closer and you’ll hear lots of weird little twists & turns in the phrasing and harmonies.
Fo’s Picks: 1, 2, 6, 9, 12
1. bright & happy
2. upbeat shuffle
3. swing w/odd rhythm
4. plodding pace
5. slow & frilly
6. a wee bit warped
7. rolls heavily
8. tiptoes carefully
9. odd tinkly swing
10. dragging tempo
11. bombastic swing
12. hip swinger
13. goofy li’l stomp
