Fans
of the late lamented jazz fusion/prog band Brand X can rejoice at MJ12, the
latest project from Brand X bass man Percy Jones. Here Jones is joined by
guitarist David Phelps, sax player Chris Bacas and drummer Stephen Moses for a
set of fusion with proggy twists that should satisfy Brand X fans; Bacas'
fluttering sax riffs in the midsection of opening cut "Call 911" are a perfect
example of how the music here goes beyond the anticipated. "Talk Time" features
Jones playing probing bass riffs over a music bed that recalls a signal from
space; not too surprising since the band takes their name from Majestic 12, the
government-sponsored group that supposedly investigated UFO sightings in the
late '40s. Space-related or not, everything here is instrumental, so the
listener can choose whatever path is desired when listening to the jazz jam
"Magic Mist," the funk-infused groove "Guns and Pussy" or the sublime "Bad
American Dream Pt. 2."
