Title: Hipper than thou . . .
Review: . . . and a hellava lot more boring.Yes, these guys are the coolest thing ever to emerge from the jam band wasteland. Yes, they can play circles around most of their cohorts. Yes, John Medeski has killer keyboard chops (why doesn't he use 'em?), as witnessed by his duo album with Andre Jaume, the French sax great.But where's the substance?Nowhere to be found, sad to say.Some really radio-friendly, massively ephemeral tunes: a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Is the review positive or negative?
