When you are a really competent musician who just wants to have fun, the result is JoosTVD. Just Say Know is 11 songs worth of expertly played, groovy, smooth progressive funk. The project’s style is very interesting and out there, not conforming to traditional songwriting and instrumentation.

There’s a playful mood to the record there’s a song about one’s cat partaking in weed, for goodness’ sake! But what strikes us most is how much fun JoosTVD is having performing such tricky, jazzy, funky parts. It’s a lovely thing to observe and hear, yet JoosTVD is never comical or goofy.

Just Say Know is clearly a labor of love and that shows through the masterful songwriting, tight performance, and challenging, compelling song structures. This is a progressive project, after all, and the person behind it did one hell of a job!

If you ever wondered how Faith No More may sound if they dialed back the edginess, give Just Say Know a spin.https://blog.drooble.com/joostvd-want-you-to-just-say-know-to-progressive-funk/

The album has a great diversity of sounds. But the basis is a funky swinging touch with a basic singing beat. It's the sounds with which you can't sit on your lazy ass. It has a South American touch that touches on the African. By incorporating the horns into the songs, it gets a jazz moment. But above all are the catchy repetitive lyrics of, among other things, the title track and the opening track 'Living is Instant' with which you are sucked into the album.

‘Hear the Sunshine Play’, ‘Careful’ with a nice bass line and the piano track ‘The Shit Hits the Band’ sound like crooners with a weed, but certainly entertaining. The laid back songs 'Ennio' and 'Sentimental Overload' are the highlights of the album for me. From that perspective, a full album in a line would be most desirable to me. But the more people the more joy there are more flavors. By Roelof Noorda
