Just listened to this great track and really enjoyed it.

But surely this competes for the worst dressed jazz act ever?

Many clothing styles look ridiculous years after fashion changes. - Rick W 15:18:57 10/28/20 (0)
When I think back to some of the outfits I wore in the '60's - both on gigs and in daily life - I cringe. Can't believe I wore that stuff and actually thought it was hip. I have plenty of jazz albums with pics of the musicians wearing styles that seem hilarious and beyond the pale in 2020.

I just buy/wear relatively conservative clothes that I feel are basically timeless. I've seen a helluva lotta ridiculous fashions in my life. Some of the stuff that's considered hip today are styles that were popular when I was in junior high school. Fashion is basically change for change's sake and to make those who care about current fashions buy new clothes.
Who cares how they dress? How could that be important to the music?... - musetap 12:27:27 10/27/20 (0)
Are there standards to be met?

Never a MT fan, I did see them with a GF in 1981.

It was a surprisingly good show, but how they dressed has nothing to do with that.

Pure pop for past people.

Retro hip....80s style. It's a stage act.
Not all that outlandish if you lived it back in the day.
