Huge Hands Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I think part of the problem for me was around the time Stuart Zender left, Jamiroquai seemed to head towards a more clinical, clean crisp dance/disco vibe. Before that (and this is all IMHO) they had been a little bit rougher around the edges, a bit dirtier, a bit funkier. I don't know if that was due to the loss of Mr Zender's feel and tone, or a coincidence of the route they decided to take, but it is all too clean for me whenever I see footage of them playing now. I loved Acid Jazz music at the time but always hated that over-produced, sterile pop sound they always seemed to get (i.e. Brand New Heavies, Young Disciples etc). It is probably why I was such a Mother Earth fan... Edited October 8, 2021 by Huge Hands 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtcat Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Jamiroquai's 1st 2 albums are the only two I really love. The later stuff is so much more sterile in comparison. That said, I love Paul Turner's playing and we'd all love to play with Derek McKenzie on drums every week. I've met JK a few times. My wife works for Audi motorsport but was previously involved with Porsche at Silverstone and he has been a regular at events with both companies. He's a very likeable character and really polite and respectful. He isn't at all standoffish like many of the other big names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
