    oh man, i think you're totally on with the quincy jones reference... just
    read up on degiorgio, that man knows his rhodes from his moogs - but really,
    yeah, it's all in the nuance.

    as for atjazz, i *think* it's a he, although that seems counterintuitive.

    and just wait for the full-length - damn, it's good. but as for singles,
    "touch the sun" can't even be touched. amazing.

    Right on. I was turned on to Atjazz recently. Dope stuff ("Touch The
    Sun").
    It increases my interest in this 'Brokenbeat' thing.
    Is Atjazz a he or a they? I thought Atjazz was a couple of producers.

    Is it just me or do I sense a Quincy Jones (circa late 70s-early 80s)
    influence with the brokenbeat sound? Not really with the beats, but the
    funky analog synth bass, the ethereal strings/synth pads and the Rhodes
    piano...
