gjones Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I love great Acid Jazz like this. I'd love to be in an acid jazz band but I don't think any of the musicians I hang out with are into it. Tomorrow I'm going to have to make some cooler pals.

deanovw Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I was just listening to loads of acid jazz recently and thinking how much fun it would be to play in a band like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou24d53 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Saw JTQ a number of years ago at The Arches in Glasgow where they played this and the Starsky and Hutch theme as well, brilliant night. Also check out the album Supernatural featuring Noel McCoy on vocals, not listened to for a long time, I'm gonna have to dig that out later.

Bo0tsy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Love a bit of JTQ, I remember seeing them live at the Island in Ilford, with Noel McKoy & Snowboy.Absolutely fantastic band live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Haven't heard that in a while! That was my take on Carol Kaye who's on the original Lalo Schiffrin version. We actually recorded it as a performance in the studio and it was quite a blow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hey - you must be Gary Crockett - you, sir are a superb player. I went through a big JTQ phase circa 1994 and saw you several times. You may not remember, but I think I scared the sh*t out of you once..... I was very drunk at a JTQ gig at Leicester DeMontford, and thoroughly enjoying the gig. I was amazed how a bass player who looked so young could be so damned good. Afterwards, I was lingering at the stage when a chap asked me if I was Security (being a heavily built 6foot, shaved head and pierced nose). I said no, so he suggested we go backstage. We entered the JTQ dressing room and I made a drunken beeline for you to enquire your age to satisfy my curoisity. The sight of an intimidating thug approaching and asking bluntly how old you were, you could be forgiven for thinking that a bouncer was about to throw out. You looked scared shitless, but eventually politely answered my questions. Sorry about that, and thanks for the can of Stella and the orange.

51m0n Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nice one! I really really love Lalo Schifrin's work, just awesome, great take on it here though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz66 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks guys, The Sound Stylistics could make a comeback if we get 'round to writing that difficult third album. Its a great band live but there's 11 of us and the gigs are hard to come by with a band that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That solo you take on the live version of Yo-Yo is still one of the best I've ever heard. Both melodic AND thunderous. Plus it keeps everyone dancing! (I too saw you live with JTQ many times, best live band in the country then in my opinion) Bravo, great playing sir I must check out your post JTQ music immediately! (I'm a bit slow keeping up with things to be fair ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
