sacreligious i know but out of the 12 songs there are just 3 classics,but there are a further 4 good tunes with possibilities.....the rest aint my cup o tea. the idea of jaz putting vocals over these is more difficult to imagine than either the 2003 or hosannas geordie demos.it would be nice to hear the final versions of this work,with or without vocals.
 
 
good - but not blown away.
