Here's what Cristy from Score! Magazine had to say:
Band name: Jazza Diction
Album title: Can Ya Dig It?
Location: Oregon
Initial Impression: My little heart leaped when "Life According to Don" immediately reminded me of The Doors' "The End" with its spoken word nature.
Notable Lyric: "Yeah, I got a penis, you want it? It's yours, no strings attached. Don't forget to feed it, but don't let it get fat. It's been nothing but trouble, I think I'd like to see it go." from the hep-cat "Hindsight"
Factoid: The message "Jazza Diction is temporarily defunct due to a conflict of artistic opinion" is displayed on their website, www.bluestonealliance.org/jazzadiction/
Serve With: This album is the perfect accompaniment to gray rainy day and a room warmed with a multitude of scented candles.
Comments: This CD is rife with diverse styles that somehow gel into a cohesive and thoroughly enjoyable experience. In true spoken-word beatnik style, these songs tend to go on awhile (only two of them are under four minutes), and the lyrical/poetic content utilizes cool intellectual humor to make pointed social commentary. Although songs like "Colors" and "What Else Matters?" have a folksy feel to them, and "Desdemona Sand" is reminiscent of Shawn Mullins first CD Soul's Car (No, not the hit "Lullabye"), others kick in with a smooth jazz, blues and light reggae bounce. My hope is that the "defunct" part of Jazza Diction is very temporary.
*******
Oh - and just to satisfy legal issues, "Hindsight" contains two naughty words.
