5.0 out of 5 stars Get a Move On, Getamoveon, March 17, 2005

Excellent jazz/dance tune: blends styles and crosses genres while maintaining the cool of lounge jazz and 'hip' verve of a fashionable club or `in the know' venue. Mr. Scruff is the "Moby" of modern jazz (in the most complimentary way).

The single is excellent, but I might suggest purchasing the full "Keep it Unreal" album that spawned it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Scruff and Moondog cross referred, December 3, 2002

Right here on Amazon.com, if you look up Moondog, you are cross-referred to Mr. Scruff. And vice versa. Which is interesting because:

When I first heard the melody in use in 2002 for Lincoln Town Car TV commercials, I recognized the melody (at least I think I did) as "Bird's Lament," a Moondog melody originally reocrded by him in the late '60s for Columbia, now on the CD Moondog, also on Columbia, and rerecorded by him on Atlantic a few years ago as "sax pax for a sax."

Moondog was blind, died a few years ago. The Mr. Scruff single CD does not credit Moondog (Louis Hardin) for the tune so is it a coincidence as with George Harrison and "My Sweet Lord"/"He's so Fine"? It seems to credit someone named Carthy. So I dunno. I'd love to hear more about this. Maybe it's a puzzle meant to be solved.
