    I saw them last month at F. Scotts. They are a refreshing change from the usual "call-a-tune, play-some-solos" type of jazz group. One can tell they've rehearsed, and they love what they are doing. If you like that classic Hammond B-3 jazz quartet with drums, sax and guitar, you'll enjoy The Situation. The front man (tenor, alto, soprano saxes)keeps you entertained with humorous, sometimes self deprecating comments between songs. He's not the best bebopper around, but you can tell he's played a lot of music and knows how to keep things interesting. The B-3er, has obviously listened to a lot of Jimmy Smith, Lonnie Smith, and some old school players like Wild Bill Davis. He shows some modern chops as well with some Larry Young, Larry Goldings style licks. The drummer is very tasteful and compliments the band perfectly. They aren't exactly masters individually, but I still give them 4 stars because the whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts. Collapse
