I like dis band. Jazzy pop toons that are kinda cheesy but hopefully they'll grow out of that as they get older.

Well played but I find the rhythm section a bit overpowering- two guitars and piano for jazz-pop seems a bit like overkill. A bit cuddly for my tastes also.

Still, sounding pretty good.

The piano kinda overwhelms the guitars a lot of the time. Do you know any other good jazzy pop?

hehe only joking

Actually, I'm having trouble thinking of anything that close to this band. Here are some jazz-influenced things that aren't really all that similar but are very poppy, catchy jazz stuff that I dig.

Polar Bear

Joshua Redman's Elastic Band

You could also try Django Bates, if you are feeling brave! Kinda poppy in its way... it certainly grooves hard.

Probably not a single thing here is what you are looking for, though :wacko:

Polar Bear kinda reminds me of Happy Apple, but with an acoustic bass. I'll check out more of their stuff. I like Wibutee and Django Bates too.

I like this song quite a bit. It's a little less of the cheesy pop.

New album is pretty awesome. A little less cuddly than first one

Bill Bruford's trilogy of Jazz-Fusion albums come to mind after hearing that.
