Umbrella Weather eh? An Irish jazz group? No? Ah crap! Free jazz? Avant-Garde Jazz? Is this the most questions you've seen begin one of my reviews? It is? Do I have a chance of even getting halfway through this? Will I be hitting the bailout button soon? Is anyone surprised that I hate this from the off? Those crazy, frenetic horns: don't you know I hate those so much, Frown? You do? Of course you do. All right, enough questions: let's get down to an actual review. It settles in nicely finally on track two, and I'm a little calmer. How appropriate: it's called “Ceasefire”, and yes, I do feel like I've been battered by repeated salvos of horn and drums for the last five minutes or so. Reminds me of that scene in Throw Momma From the Train, where Danny DeVito wakens up his sleeping harpy of a mother by blowing a trumpet in her ear (hoping the shock will kill her) and she starts awake snarling “Had a nightmare! Louis Armstrong was trying to kill me!”

OK, I officially hate this. No way I'm sitting through another – how long? - over fify minutes of this. Tell him, coach!

Check out more from this genre or subgenre? No, I bloody hate it
