JAR – Scene 29

• 7th Jan 2009

Easy jazz that could be adopted by the softer side of Sting we have been hearing throughout his post Police lifetime. Well that’s how JAR sounds in the beginning anyway. So it’s foot tapping easy listening for a more mature generation of listeners… and maybe that odd jazz enthusiast at music school.
Maybe it has been done better by a bigger artist, but it’s also easy to imagine it being done a hell of a lot worse as well. The album speaks its own mind and never at any point tries to be anything but what it is which is admirable of music that isn’t perhaps at its peek. Someone has to keep it alive.
