Alrighty, more McVaffe, and a decidedly different flavor as well. The man knows no fear, as he delves deep into Kondo's Yoshi's Island and pulls out a juicy, head-boppin' piece of that oldtime rag. That's right, I said rag. As in Scott Joplin. McV turns Yoshi's little diddy into a ballsy piano rag that would be appropriate in any dusty-yet-busy saloon in the old west. Actually, this reminded me a bit of the soundtrack to The Sting (Redford and Newman - great film), which had a lot of that genre throughout it. Beginning with a solo piano that has it's low-end chords panned harder left than I've usually heard, with the happy melody going on on your right, accompanying drums (kick, cymbals, some tom fills, and a nice brush snare I wish I had) and upright bass then come in and make it a grand ole time. Now, this is no way a shortcoming of the mix, but I liked it so much it could have been twice as long, in which case it would have been absolutely bitchin' to have a clarinet solo. Clarinet patches that are worth a damn for jazz are hard to come by, so maybe Woody Allen or someone will one day read this write-up, contact McVaffe, and make my dreams come true, but in the meantime, this is a great little treat in a genre we don't see a lot, done right AND done fun. Kudos.
