    It was actually bands like STP and the Hendrix power trio and even Jeff Buckley that got me into jazz music, specifically bebop and latin.
    they were my bridge!
    The way Robert and Dean opened my mind to fragmented chords in a rock setting, no one else has done so and made it work so creatively.
    I spose the Beatles kinda went there first, but STP had it in an over driven grunge format.... Beautiful.

    I see why rob needed to recruit his brother to join the band. How many guitar players are going to play what the bass player tells them to?

    This band is practically the Soundtrack to Gen X. I loved them so much.

    Tiny Music makes so much more sense now. My absolute favorite album but now I know where so may of those chords and progressions came from. Awesome
