With BNHs, you have to look past the charty songs... check out the Shelter album... there's some cracking tracks on there.

Check out the song "Once Is Twice Enough" 8)

My favorite jazz artist is Thelonious Monk, but as far as jazz/funk bands I should probably expand my horizons

Hi!

And welcome to the board!

It's early days at the moment, so tell your friends! We're trying to build up a real music-loving community here!

T.Monk is superb.

Great link, Christoph!

I took the liberty of editing your post so that I could add the new YouTube tags to your link.

Presumably you don't mind. :)
