Winterwood is an amazing album. I grabbed it when it was released on the website for free! One of my favorites

JFJO 4 Ever

First heard JFJO at the Tulsa Tough bike race. I believe it was Jason Smart's last show, because I remember halfway through the set Josh Raymer taking over the kit. I was listening to underground hip-hop at the time, but this music blew my mind. It was one thing to hear jazz influenced hip-hop, but to hear jazz influenced by hip-hop, electronica, post-rock, and everything in between was like opening a secret music portal. Winterwood is absolute essential listening, definitely the pinnacle sound of the trio JFJO formation.

13:41 love this. I love that you mention that it asks a lot of both you AND the audience.

[@kentmackey2717]

This brought on some serious waves of nostalgia. Back when listening to live music was about the most important thing in my life, and shouting out my request for "Lovejoy" at the Blue Wisp in Cincinnati. Hopefully we get back to that soon! In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to listening to all of this. And I'm going to start digging through my archives to find that version of "Lovejoy". Thanks Reed!

[@reedmathis4623]

yes yes!

Thank you!

[@reedmathis4623]

[@GrahamSpice]

Unreal. I was mesmerized, just like the first (and every) time I watched you all perform. This is an incredible tribute to a life well lived. Thanks for all you do, JFJO :)

[@TimSmolens]

Thanks for posting! Reed is an amazing human and has a great musical mind. I have enjoyed the brief times I have hung out with him and my band Estradasphere had the pleasure of playing with JFJO. Great times! I am happy Reed and I have kept in touch to some extent over the years! This documentary showed me many things I did not know about JFJO.

[@gregbroxterman]

so excited to hear all 5 albums! ww & tae are beloved but so glad to get a bunch of the stuff leading up to those, magical times. i only wish there were a pressed cd release, bc thats what kind of nerd i am :P thanks so much for all the work and love put in to these!

[@AdamWeinberg]

I truly loved seeing you guys play. Must have caught 20 or so shows between 1998-2004ish, many of them with The Slip. Thank you for releasing these new albums. Really looking forward to getting into them.

The ancient futures

[@Soundwrecker]

I’ve been loving on the Winterwood album since it was originally released as a free download on the JFJO website many years ago. It’s one of my favorites for sure. Where can I find the new mix along with the other live releases mentioned in the documentary? Oh, and THANK YOU for all of the transportational and inspirational fun experiences I’ve had listening to your music. Great documentary!

[@nowing4vr]
