John Lurie, who can be heard in movies like Manny and Lo, African Swim, and Fishing With John, provides the made-for-movie part, an upbeat, tambourine-shaking bunch of tunes with squeaky saxes and funky bass lines.
The true funk, however, comes from Medeski, Martin, and Wood's "Chubb Sub" a strong bass/drum/organ jam that'll knock you off your feat (or onto your feat if you were sitting down.) The flow of this album may be one of its greatest features.

 John Lurie
Ci sono diversi motivi che ci inducono a trattare i due Cd della nuova etichetta discografica di John Lurie, la "Strange and Beautiful Music", contemporaneamente.
Da allora, la carriera di Lurie si e' ripartita tra quella di attore (e se proprio vogliamo citare un titolo per tutti non possiamo che ricordare "Down By Law" al fianco della coppia Benigni - Tom Waits) e quella di compositore di colonne sonore e di musica per la sua band.
In entrambi i casi si tratta di brani cantati in duetto con John Lurie senza alcuna base strumentale e, unico accompagnamento, il rumore dell'acqua mossa dai remi della barca sulla quale viaggiano i due.
