After listening to Lumpy G. I had the same impression as most people do when listening to Lumpy Gravy for the first time, cluttered, disorganized, no flow. But if you were to map out the styles, rhythms, vocal samples..etc, you start to see a structure that gives the song some kind of life to it. I definitely hear the almost cartoon like influence of Carl Stalling with that intro old school "the munsters" feel with the splatty brass and 8ths on the ride, 2 and 4 on the snare. I enjoyed the vibe/ bass break down in the middle, kind of reminded me of another 60's Private Eye show or something. This musical style (at this portion) reminds me of Chuck Mangione and his style on the flugel.

Interesting Piece
