Artist: Jimmy Layton and His All-American Not-Your-Daddy's-Jazz Band
Title: Shakti & Vuja De
Label: Jazzapple Records
Jimmy Layton (piano, organ, elec piano) ~ Just another Kid from Red Bank, Jimmy was born at an early age, in a log cabin that he helped his father build.
So, what is ”Not Your Daddy’s Jazz”?
Using, as it’s guideline, the principle of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do ~ it takes what is useful, and discards what is not.
With neither prejudice towards traditional jazz, nor discrimination against other music styles, it freely integrates elements of jazz, latin, funk, rock and classical.
It’s only goal is musicality.
It is a form that has no form.
~
“There are only two kinds of music. Good music and the other kind.”
~ Duke Ellington
Jimmy headed up GRoK, a SF Bay Area original fusion band, which has opened for Allan Holdsworth, Zero and Roy Rogers. He has released 3 CDs of his own music which have included jazz, blues, progressive rock, electronic and new age pieces ~ the last release being with EmptyHand.
