5/8 then 4/4 or (5+8)/8 isn't it?

[TheGamernamer]

I just did the for my Final examination. However you would not believe the time signature it is just so nuts...

[fnbulbous]

What album is this off of?

[effsixteenblock50]

Man.....I've got a CD of a duet with Steve and Dave Holland I picked up in Japan, and I'm telling you - that session was dripping with swing!

[ThenurVraxJam]

Steve, youre funny. Man, you got me smiling at that one...You always had a thing for self-promotion...as long as youre into what youre doing : )

[videolover61]

@Parvenu333

Are you Steve? LOL

Now like I said before: I got it...I don't want to hear this no more! Because I didn't give you the response you so desired makes you think I dont get the music. I get it. I got it...I'm done with it...

I dig all kinds of music, so it ain't cause i'm not on your or Steve's level. I have taken this in, and it's got it's own vibe, BUT it doesn't hold my attention for very long. And I can dance, but i don't want to dance to this!!

@Parvenu333

Nah I get it...got it and moved on.

[TheGamernamer]

I'm actually getting this written up and performing it for my Final High school exams

[videolover61]

This is Charlie Parker ran through a computer. Im progressive but I would still rather hear the real Charlie Parker or a musician that can swing...end the end this is rather flat and overly intellectual...
