- | Jog Jazz based on repurposing | + | Considering that the band has a long history, having formed in 20xx, I was kind of surprised how loose some of the songs sounded -- pretty much like they'd been written with only the barest skeleton of structure, and the band members were fleshing out the muscles and guts and skin and claws on the fly. Sometimes it was exciting to hear them " |

+ | The final tune of the night, _Jog Jazz_ seemed to me to based on repurposing fhe primal groove of Miles Davis' Electric Band classic, _It's About That Time_, and attemting to change it into a vehicle for some classical Indian style improvisation. Sadly, to my ears those two components failed the test of integration. Miles' riff is a killer one, and when they rode it, the band sounded great, but when they wandered away, my admittedly amateur ears failed to pick up the tala, so I heard the resulting jams more as aimless improvisation rather than melodic and beat-oriented explorations of a concrete rhythmic cycle. This reqlly surprised (and disappointed) me -- given that _It's About That Time_ sounds to me as if it's in cut time, I expected to hear a tala in 8 or 16, but... no. Maybe I need to try and dig up the _Bombay Jazz_ CD for a fresh listen; for that night, at least, I was kind of frustrated with the show's conclusion. | ||
