    I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I think we need to keep the
    quality of Cinematic Orchestra's music in perspective. As live jazz
    musicians their talents are suspect (also see: Koop). For those of you
    that enjoyed Cinematic so much in concert I have to words for you:
    Pharoah Sanders.

    I was seriously bored at the Cinematic's recent LA show and am thinking
    of avoiding musicians who make pleasant cross genre albums, but pass
    themselves off as jazz musicians in concert. I thought for sure that
    Cinematic would bring something different to their live performance (and
    unless you call a few turntable provided beats something different);
    they didn't.

    In a strange way, I find Zero 7 more compelling live than either
    Cinematic or Koop.

    Jon

    p.s. You can blame the tone of this on the fact that it's Monday morning
    - yuck!

    the last song is
    theme de yoyo
    by the art ensemble of chicago.

    the seattle show went off without a hitch.
    the room was packed
    the band was tight.
    i know that had a good time cuz they came out and danced after their
    set was over to my DJ set.

    it was a very special night....

    dont miss them!
