How To Be Happy
And Get What You Want
This is a bit outside my box, so before we get started… a disclaimer. I am not an educated jazz fan. What I say is from the stand point of a guy that listens to Metallica and Fedde le Grande in the same hour. Cool? K…
I’m given the CD, I jump into my car and throw it in. I’m not even in reverse yet and I stop and stare at my cd player. First thought? These guys are not wasting ANY time getting after it AT ALL. See, at this point, I hadn’t even looked at the album title yet. So I did. “Brenan Brothers – The Throw Down”. No Kidding.
This is a throw down and it’s a shout from Alberta to everyone in Toronto that thinks if you don’t live in Toronto then you can’t be that good or even very serious about your craft. If that happens to be you, then you can step up and answer the challenge issued in the The Throwdown which also happens to be the title of the first track.
The Throw Down by the Brenan Brothers (Jim http://www.jimbrenan.com and brother Craig) also features Ralph Bowen (alto saxophone), Terell Stafford (trumpet), Geoffrey Keezer (piano),
Dana Hall (drums) and Rubim de Toledo (Bass).
Playing with these guys is the fitness equivalent of walking into a gym and telling Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Vin Diesel that you got a workout for them IF they can keep up.
