Bassology - Feeling That I Get

A hard swinging set of original jazz compositions that is complemented by some distinctive performances of unusual covers. The music evokes the freedom funkiness and focus of the Charles Mingus workshop, but with a clear 90s flavor. The band plays it straight ahead with burning riffs on such tunes as Rage Against the Machine, but can also punch out an authoritative New Orleans sound on St. Julienne and a calypso of If I Ever Had to Dance. The cover of Alannis Morisette's You Oughta Know alone is worth the price of this album! 'A collection that will both impress the serious jazz fan and win the newcomer's heart, 'The Feeling That I Get,' is a treat from beginning to end. Melodies that stay with you, tunes for dancing, musicianship that inspires -- it's all here. A very sophisticated yet accesible piece of work.Bassology is both a find and a joy.Highly recommended and greatly enjoyed. Includes a hauntingly beautiful version of the Native American jazz anthem Wichi Tao To, and a rocking take on Cruella DeVil's theme (guaranteed to teach your kids a thing or two about a jazz and bring a big smile to their faces). ' a fan of the band.
