Friday music: If you don't love jazz, you hate America

OK, I'm inconsistent on this one.  I use Jonas Hellborg semi-regularly for the Tuesday series, and I'll call that appropriate given the breadth of his musical palette, but today, I'll use him for Friday, both because you can make a case that this is jazz, and his group here-- Shawn Lane and Jeff Sipe*-- consists of 'mer'cans.  Besides, this one just seems right.  From Zenhouse, here's "The House Stands Still: In The House."





*Jeff Sipe often goes by the stage name of Apt. Q-258, because he's a weirdo.  His musical resume consists of work with jazz groups,  rock nutjobs like Col. Bruce Hampton (who was awesome!), and pretty much anybody else who needed a drummer who could play anything.  Also, Shawn Lane, the guitarist, is not to be confused with the mandolin player from the bluegrass group, Blue Highway.  Cool musicians, both, but very different.  Yay for pedantic footnotes in blog posts!
