Iconoclastic big band with rollicking charts, tight playing, and solid vocals that include swearing. Lots of fun. Occasional free-jazzy solos, but it's mostly accessible, with quick-paced tunefulness in multiphased songs that keep you on your toes. Mostly sourced from '50s R&B/doo-wop sounds, mixed with traditional swing. It doesn't sound like Frank Zappa's large bands but is coming from a similar place. Weird little interludes add a surreal touch (2,5,7,12). vocals: 9,13(FCC),14(FCC),17,18 1/2- Lengthy, silly intro with crowd noise. 3: Cool, catchy riff with lots of off-kilter horns 4- Sneaky start, into big bouncing instrumental 5- Helium-voiced interlude 6- Multiphased. Fun but less manic than 3 or 15. Faux opera intro. 7- (spoken blip) 8- Off-balance horn lines, then kind of a mariachi chase scene. Goofy "yes I'm bad" vocals at the end. 9- Snarky stage-musical feel, about getting a real job 10- *FCC* i think... Interlude: randomness including words 11- Drunken swing. Maybe touches of klezmer. 12- Weird interlude 13- *FCC* many times. New agey piano; goofy narration 14- *FCC* one "what the fuck" ; Sultry song about getting chased by a truck. Crazy punk/clown drive at the end. 15- '50s doo-wop riff, into a fun fast instrumental. SEGUES: 16- Really goofy beer-hall warbling over piano. Ends with Zorn-like sax attack and lotsa applause. 17- Radio-safe version of 14 18- Edit of 9, although I think 9 is radio-safe to begin with | ||
