Punk-Jazz!

they probably go in Eclectic Fusion... I cant find a good youtube vid so here is their wiki although I know that its a dubious source

perhaps there are good samples on grooveshark?

I know the artist well, some of my friends have worked with him. I think James is a talentless posuer, but some good musicians have found work with him while waiting for something better. Let us think about this one.

its not that I am a huge fan... i just happen to have a recording. Its not really a matter of their/his talent. I think they are jazz enough to belong on this site and they are an important stepping stone to bigger and better things in the downtown scene.
