oh yeah the PIMPS are fun funky energetic brilliant fantastic. They understand that jazz is not a genre of music, it's an attitude! they understand dance music, and they understand that their fans can still take in all the aural details of their highly textured music in various states of inebriation while pumping their fists in the air. Their music is brilliant already but they really *know* how to work the crowd and put them in the right mood for songs.
It doesn't matter that after 5 albums, their studio sound is still pretty much the same, because they're not a studio band. Their music is supposed to be appreciated live, like a giant party, in a medium-sized venue, but they're almost getting too famous for that.
The best thing about SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS? They're getting younger people into Jazz music. Jazz greats die off eventually, but their ideas live on to be transformed by a newer generation.
Long live SOIL&"PIMPS"! I can't wait for the next time I get to see them live.
