But also, yeah he was. The assumption that being a jam guy means you suck is funny and all, but many jam scene musicians are in fact very talented people brah

I highly doubt they would pick a guy from sunsquabi if they had already done huge work behind the scenes though
Like all the great jazz dudes out there who need work and we land on someone in the scene?
Not saying it wont work. Just feels like a short cast

And I’ll be the guy to say it - I prefer they pick a guy who has a track record of knowing how to flow in the improv department over some prog guy who might not speak that language. I’m not saying I would want a Fishman or a Kreutzman in an UM setting, but I wouldn’t want a Portnoy either tbh

Yea its a me a problem. I tricked myself into thinking maybe they wanted to redefine themselves. Probably just trying to keep the wheels turning

Forgive me for assuming the band we constantly make fun of for being badly managed is walking into a bad management decision.

You just want them to keep sucking so you can keep poaching their old die hard fans
I’d have been really down to see Fro in an UM setting. I think Scotty will be cool too though. If anything I think he’ll bring them in a more dancy/untzy direction with the jams, you might like it
