Listening to the album "Tom Cat" by Tom Scott and the LA Express. For those of you who don't know Tom Scott, he is a great saxophone player and his band is equally as great. They are a jazz group from the 70's which meant instead of cocaine and heroin like 50's and 60's jazz, it was more cocaine, heroin and electic pianos. I really prefer what jazz became in the 1970's as opposed to jazz in the 50's and 60's. It was a little funkier and overall more fun to listen to. I enjoy jazz from the 50's and 60's but it's too "Yeeeeaaaah, jaaaaaazzzz, cigarettes and suits and coffee, etc." Whereas 70's (and even 80's) jazz is more like "Yeaaaaah, lets fuck all night in multiple positions and be tan and do coke and wear valour shirts and drive corvettes and go to Palm Springs and play tennis at a mansion in LA and do more coke and be in movies like Night Shift and reapeat all those things all the time, etc. etc. etc.. I guess what I'm trying to say is the 70's seemed like a good god damn time.
