Global Noize notes: (written by Scott Bernstein)
Jason Miles and DJ Logic were able to bring together a lot of BIG names on this stage for this show -- Billy Martin, Karl Denson, Oteil Burbridge, Bernie Worrell, Christian Scott, Topaz.  The music is definitely some sort of hybrid jazz/world beat.  I guess the night of the show, it felt a little strange after a pretty great funky throwdown opener, also with lots of big name special guests, to have a band play much more "head trip" oriented jazz/world beat combo, late at night in New Orleans.  Well maybe if I was one of those who indulged in certain substances it would have made more sense, but I wasn't.  Anyway, upon listening back now, it's a really killer set of music if you're in a certain mood for sure.  I think I appreciate more now listening at home than I did that night.  You can really hear the personalities of each of the individual musicians coming through in the music -- Billy Martin, Karl Denson, Oteil Burbridge, and Bernie Worrell, in particular, sound exactly as you might expect them to sound, and they mesh really well on the unfamiliar material.
