The guy's plainly overplaying. All those "extra" notes don't really add anything. Listen to Paul Turner playing this number on the Live at Abbey Road session. Much nicer, cleaner playing.

Definitely overplaying on that. Theres no need for all those fills. Even if it was down in the mix, it takes away from the song.

Yeh you just can't fault Paul as a player, he hits the nail on the head consistently with his playing.

Agreed - the guy's got talent but he's 'saying' way too much - and rushing (in a metronomic sense) as well - but he can obviously play - I can guarantee he'd be asked to tone it down in a band setting - let alone with Jamiroquai... :)

SERIOUS overplaying !!
But you see it all the time a player gets a bit of chops and it turns into the Gimpolympics !
Good player but needs to let the groove breath.

Yep, I'm sure even the great Rocco Prestia would be accused (by some here) of overplaying, if heard in isolation.
What is there and what you [b]think[/b] is there is often very different...particularly when it comes to bass.
