LOL

parts of this are grate , but the performance is like a comedy sketch , the jazzy aspects of it seem really forced and artificial and in my opinion detract from the flow and feel of the tune completely.

I'm not against jazz in general and enjoy lots of off beat and more experimental aspects of the genre just seems in this case when they go off on a more abstract jazz tangent its totally superfluous and feels out of context.

The bassist expressions and movements also look completely forced granted they are really skilled musicians and I'm sure if I played at this level I would make stupid faces but I'm reasonably certain That it would not be to this existent , after all the drummer and the pianist seem to be coping just fine ( pianist has his moments )
