[JPL] Wave Mechanics Union - Second Season

[Jeff Turton]

I started playing it a couple of weeks ago. I know there was a posting  
a couple of weeks ago (I can't remember who mentioned it) which is  
what prompted me to pay closer attention and request a copy of the CD.  
I love the version of Rain Song and Elephant Talk did work  
surprisingly well. It took a few listenings before I could get past  
Killer Queen and Won't Get Fooled Again as swing tunes but they do  
work. Mostly for time reasons at this point I've been playing The  
Great Gig In The Sky and Available Light. I've been saying for years  
this was possible, it just takes some imagination and a lot of work to  
craft these as Jazz vehicles.  It'll certainly get play in to the  
first part of 2009 on FNX
