more is merrier Hmm - my Nehru jacket only has six buttons. I wonder if it's a knock-off? I will take your word for it that something seemed missing from the soundtrack, because it seems quite sculpturally-filled to me. But in an after-hours jam I guess more is always merrier. It's amazing how this Macjams Woodstock idea keeps developing in unexpected ways. |

Seven Buttons On A Nehru Jacket fisrt of all I never enjoyed keys like these .. the flute is something remarkable ..McBoy guitar is a timless signature here a true wizard .. there s those spots when you let the keys sounds like wah wah how on earth you did that ??

Nothin' better... ...than a dirty groove and a manic flautist. Interesting changes and textural treatments. Fantastic job! |

Not only is the music fun but really enjoyed your descriptions in post with some of the macjammers you replied to! Terrific on both counts. |

Excellent I love that 7 groove. All the instruments are great, but I was really digging the crazy keys, the guitar and especially the flute. Great work, guys! |

nice mix Certainly alot of flavors here hitting on all those good sounds of that early 70's jazz/ psychedlia stuff. Definitely heard that Hancock influence and that flute sound remeniscent of Jeremy Steig, Herbie Mann, Yusef Lateef and even Rahsaan Roland Kirk You only forgot one thing, the mini-skirted, bird caged dancing girls with the patin leather thigh-high boots and big bubble hats. |

woowah... I love the funky woo-wah sound on the intro guitar, and your sparkly keyboard work on the organ is great fun. And man, I love Sal's flute work. What a wild party of stars here, makes my head spin, I see melting blobs projected onto the walls, and somebody's dancing behind the bead curtains... what a flashback! Love it! Are you sure this wasn't the theme music for "The Party" (Peter Sellers)? ttfn, Drakonis |

Was I right? :) "Mcboy on guitars here might be the only way a guit will fit." Seems to me like it fit the bill nicely Tobin - trs cool! I still like the organ best - that overdriven Stevie Winwood sound is ..... "music to my ears"! Cheers, Neil |

Very cool Hard to believe that Mcboy's guitar playing could be overshadowed but Sal's flute playing is remarkable. Tobin, this is one of the neatest things I've heard you post. Really impressed how you took a back seat (in a way) to emphasize the contributions of Mcboy and Sal. Outstanding! |

Another level..... That flute is so 60s man. Stay cool. Cheers Dick |

So much going on in this piece, but it all comes together so nicely. Great groove! chip |

tobin this is one of my fave Tobin songs, and i love that it's even wilder than the last version. i can't even wrap my head around this one, you guys are so greasy and funky. you could have been opening for Sun Ra, excellent. |

Now to make the movie.... ...for this to be the soundtrack of... Thoddi's right. Cool's the word. Wonderful Sixties funk groove. Enough intensity and non-perfection to not get into self-parody or Herbie Mann parody land... Ends up genuinely uplifting to the spirits... Ed |

Love the groove the intro with the organ building over the funky guitar digs. Way cool. Organ playing is outstanding. Love where you put the flute in the mix. Right up front and clean man, very clean. Sounds real.?? The whole thing rocks, Really rocks! You got my attention with all the out there rhythm section stuff and outragious flute. I almost forgot mcboy was to add something more. Trading off with the flute, HOT, real F#@l*&G hot. Great playing guys. Outstanding! |

Holy Smokes! This was right up my alley!! Forget Woodstock.... I've been to a few concerts that sounded like that in this decade. (I immediately thought of Medeski, Martin & Wood jamming with Karl Denson on flute with John Scofield on Guitar) Speaking of the flute player, is he a member? I've been here about 3 months so I don't know who everyone is yet, but I dig his style and I'd like to hear more. I could stand to hear more like this. I hope I can progress well enough in the next year to be able to pull of something this awesome. |

Very impressive track You have created a track that just radiates energy and style. Love the flute and the percussion. Those drums are kicking! Guitar sounds great, too. A very cool piece of music. Nicely done to everybody involved. Peace. |

Manic energy I like music that pushes boundaries, and isn't afraid to go a little 'out there' at times. This is definitely happening here; you start us off with a funky 3 4 groove, and things unfold in a kind of safe, orderly way for a while, but then it takes some unexpected turns along the way, particularly when the flute solo comes in, and the organ takes things right into the deep end with its clusters and percussive sound effects. The guitar solo is very good, as is always the case with McB, but I would love to have heard it go a little manic too, in keeping with the mood of the piece. |

Jazz Club ...cooool and the picture is Peter Sellers with Steel-Eye Span, the album was Commoners Crown and the year ...was 75/76ish....bloody hell...anyway this is a great track here,blistering flute, it's kind of Jazz Rock ,well to me it is but what do I know? I know what I like.... and this I like Jarvoid |

avant-garde Chicago II thats what I heard and loved about this. The flute rocks. Normally i have trouble following the pocket on off time stuff, but this just grabbed me and held on the length. wild ass keys, and electronics break it up nicely. Some initial clipping in the rythym bed, but that quickly seemed to dissapate. Could have been my crap speakers as well :-) |

memories As a budding artist in the 60's and early 70's I sported a Nehru jacket now and again, as well as the occasional nehru shirt and neck scarf with brass ring combination. I can just see my Hendrix black lite poster all a glow in my pachouli incense filled room, my little pot sprouts hidden discretely in the corner of my terrarium far from my parents eyes. Just groovin'. Nice Collab guys. |

Riffing on the panther Ok, so initially I was thinking that with all the riffs I could use a couple of long Coltrane lines, and then that flute comes in. That's some nifty soloing. Kudos. |

Traffic Returns! Love the time signature and mix here - really gave me a Winwood/Capaldi feel. Great playing and space in the tune to let the groove ride. |

Fantastic sound This is awesome boogaloo, Tobin. You did an amazing job mastering the track too. Just fantastic all the way around, and I agree with CC that it would be interesting to hear things unravel a little more somewhere in the tune. However, it's tight the way it is. Nice, nice, nice, -greg |
...so much going on in your music. Certainly gives the listener a lot to listen to. I am wondering around every corner what I will find next and am always surprised by what I hear. Nice mix. (I hate to be critical, but your flute seems a little under pitch ... and it's not just jazz.) ...
