A kool, mischievous tune from Jazz Keyboard maestro Jim Beard, from the album, "Advocate"
Joe Zawinul:
"Jim Beard is my favorite keyboard player...besides myself!"
David Sanborn:
Toots Thielemans:
Pat Metheny:
“Jim Beard is one of the best examples that I can think of of a young musician who is familiar and well-versed in the jazz language but is also committed to the spirit of adventure and discovery that is essential for the form to keep moving. In Jims case, his restless search for new sounds and compositional environments and a fearless approach to using and blending the newest innovations in musical instrument and studio technology leads him into always dangerous and ultimately rewarding territory. He is one of the few people around whose insight into the past is complete enough to take him to the future, and with a highly refined and subtle musicality at work, he is one musician from whom I always await each new release with anticipation”
“...warped, catchy tunes with clever arrangements and tasty solos....A brainy party favor”. Rating: A

Man, I've been waiting for him to put out another album of new material! But I'm ceratinly glad he's been touring with Steely Dan, The Dukes of September, and other gigs --gotta pay them Bills! As Jim noted in a recent interview for Jazztruth:
