My head spinning. Tattum talAnggu tattOm?????? All those so-called disco songs of late 70s/early80s are Jazz manifestation-ungga. I was introduced to jazz by my talaivar. He almost became jazz pianist till "acting career came along and ruined my career". It was a concert by jazz musicians honoring Eastwood that I really started enjoying it, and went out buying CDs of Monk, Dizzie, Ellington, Armstrong, and a couple of others. Then, I realised that goddam fast paced so called disco music by IR that didn't sound disco to me earlier was goddam jazz influenced gems! Oh man....

Early examples:

Ennadi meenatchi
sorgam mathuvile
Many many John Barry/James Bondesque background score that I kept talking about here and there (Watch Bhairavi - sue me if you can't hear Big Band sound).

What ARR did was to stay true to the genre, hello Mr. Ethirkatchi was a disappointment to me because it was pure jazz of the, well, Ella Fitzgerald/Nat Cole vattam, not the jazz of MSV/TKR vattam. But on its own, its an awesome song.

IR blended the sound, the rhythm, the whatchamacallits of TFI and gave Jazz a still unnamed new sub-genre.
