Hmmm..must be Jazz...cause that's when all they do is practice and never play a song...:-)

I remember when first hearing jazz. I thought the guys playing just couldn't play the melody right, and were experimenting.

Of course, I've since come to realize only the latter half is true.

Joey D has some incredibly nice licks, but my favorite is still Jimmy Smith.

The Numa organ sounds great.

I just LOVE Joey. Such a tasty player. I saw him a little while back open for Steely Dan. He is such an awesome player. I need to practice a LOT more if I could ever hope to come close to his level. If you don't get him I guess you just don't understand jazz. Sure it is an aquired taste but once you get it you never forget it.

And if you want to hear jazz at its very very best check out Return To Forever playing "Duel Of The Tyrant And The Jester" live. This is virtuoso performance combined with perfect music composition. This is one of the best jazz bands of all time.
Chick Corea is probably the best synthesizer player ever.

During this new era of super civility, I'll refrain from saying what I really think about that statement. Instead, I'll just say that the Numaorgan sounds very good and Joey, as usual, sounds great. I know his father, John, causally, and he is also a great 'funk' organ player (in the mold of say, Jack McDuff) and a very nice guy as well.

LOL, no harm intended...but isn't it true that they never play a song? Or maybe it is a song and I just don't hear it? Yes I know who he is and he is very talented. I do enjoy lots of Jazz style playing, but I don't care too much for the style of playing where as I said there is no song. More like a practice session. I know lots of people do like that style.
I've tried to like it...But...Makes me kind of nervous, don't know why....

Yes..the Numa does sound great.
