Jazz Kat Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Has anyone heard this? I saw a review of it in a Downbeat issue. The cover is pretty interesting, and I'm curious as to how this sounds. Quote
Alexander Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 If you liked the last one, you'll like this one. Very much "of a piece." I have to be in the right mood to enjoy the "Frank and Joe Show" discs. They're well played and fun, but there's a lot of "virtuosity for virtuosity's sake" on these albums. Still, if you're a Django fan and you like that style of jazz guitar, these are worth checking out... Quote
cannonball-addict Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 It's sorta straight-ahead I guess. It's not free if that's what you wanna know. It's almost pop though. Very kitschy; very tongue-in-cheek. Both these guys are capable of more interesting music. cb-a Quote

Heightened by a "very," yet. And not very Django-y to my ear, either (though it has its moments). I'd compare the mood to something like Hot Club of Cowtown, but with a lot more instrumental virtuosity (sometimes of the show-offy sort, but not to an offensive extent) --eric Edited September 1, 2005 by Dr. Rat Quote
