Playful bass and Clav groove early. Steadily builds with off-beat cymbal hits. Piano pivot while guitar steps forward at 10 min. Full-band effort gets peaky but stays committed to the groove. These mini-peaks are like waves lapping onshore over and over. |

Synths and keyboards contrast with guitar early. Drum fills and cymbal crashes crank the intensity after 7 min. Guitar fanning from Jake delivers peaks after 8.5 min with punctuating piano runs. A swirling, slightly atonal return to Shadow after 9 min. |

With Hungry Like The Wolf (Duran Duran) teases |
|
Already in the jam after 2.5 min, patient and circular play for several minutes. Mike’s bass effects are palpable after 6.5 min, and the band collectively rises and gets peaky with piano flourishes. Guitar turns lyrical after 10 min, with a Jake Hungry Like the Wolf tease. Additional waves of peaky play resolve an intensely enjoyable stretch around 12 min. |

Scraggly keys with muted guitar early, then organ lifts jam into peaky territory with a swinging blues bassline and off-beat cymbal groove. Hi-hat speed clinic, briefly, at 10 min, with a drum solo for a few minutes. Dramatic guitar scrapes and pulsing synths precede a purposefully-paced Chase Bliss Mood segment. Pivot to clean guitar tones after 19 min. |

Elton John cover |

Fluid play with pretty, minor key space at 9 min. Repeating tension at 11 min tees up a lyrical lick that moves to a full band peak, with momentum, e.g. 14 min. |

Debut |
|
Piano-forward and upbeat debut. Pivots darker and rhythmic at 6 min. Synth textures shine at 8-9 min shine. Keys and guitar have disconnected interplay 9-10 min. Expert, full band swirl back to the melody 11-12 min. |

With Portal To An Empty Head (The Disco Biscuits) teases |
|
Patient jamming builds rhythms and melodies from nothing. Flirts with cacophony but ultimately commits to rock. Stretchy early, then rolling rhythm with a minor key sizzle, e.g. 12 min. Tension, then quiet. Angular build to a Jake melody by 18 min. Patience galore. Flip to brighter mode at 21 min turns syrupy, then cacophonous, then muscular and peaky from 26-29 min. |

Little Feat cover |
|
Comfortably spare. Nimble and spry interplay, e.g. 9 min. Feels purposefully formless. Springy, jangly, and bluesy at 10 min. Tip toes into guitar and piano space at 12 min before falling away to a beautiful Dani solo. |

With Skin It Back (Little Feat) and Home Again (Disco Biscuits) teases |
|
Jake and Dani collaborate to paint in lush textures (13-14 min) and builds patient, gorgeous melody at 14-15 min. Alex and Mike put meat on the bone at 16 min without taking away the jam's delicate luster. Grand, celebratory passage is punctuated by drum fills at 19 min before tipping over into a prolonged peak. Don't miss this jam! |
