The Jazztronauts - "Dave's Song"

I can't quite explain why, but the latest single from The Jazztronauts doesn't sound quite like I assumed they would. First of all, "Dave's Song" starts off with a killer guitar riff, which doesn't typically scream "jazz song." After that, the song is propelled by the horn section in the way you typically hear from brass bands, especially the ones that meld hip hop into their style. Once you figure out what "Dave's Song" is, it changes up into a more traditional jazz sound, until the guitar solo kicks in, which is more of a rock and/or Funkadelic style. The Jazztronauts have created a hard rockin' jazz single that you should crank up loud and enjoy.
