Just a Closer Walk with total silliness

Okay, about being Icons... Couldn't Mnozil mount a fairly successful American tour if only on the strength of its Youtube clips alone? It seems happily headed for a modest crossover hit somewhere, sometime, soon. Visiting Mnozil's website, I came upon this video of trombonist extrodinaire Wycliffe Gordon sitting in with Mnozil at what appears to be a subway coffee shop or something like that. What's kind of annoying, at first, is that I wanted to hear Wycliffe lay it down, but they were cluttering it up by being just a bit too goofy. Throughout the track though, their desire to get goofy ups the ante and turns in some of the strangest choruses of "Just A Closer Walk." Even a scat-off!

This is amazing - yes, a bit busy, but it is so over the top and virtuosic. I do hope they come to the U.S. - I'll be first in line.
