the renegades - duncannon shenanigan (2007)
the renegades are a chicago jazz fusion trio. synth, bass, drums. this music is intricately constructed but has some badass solos as well. I saw these guys live a couple of years back - they do it live, and LOUD, so don't listen to this record at a low volume, because you just won't get it. also, there are at least a hundred tasty tasty synth tones on this album.
Whaoo. That was kickass.
