6 broken skateboards out of 10

Tommy Guerrero keeps himself a busy man – besides being one of the most influential skateboarders ever, he manages to also help run a skateboard company and perform in numerous musical outfits as well. Jet Black Crayon is a jazz/funk/noise outfit that mostly plays improv-type of stuff with a heavy leaning towards the atmospherics, or as it’s referred to in the sleeve of the disc, “drunken meandering”. A nice mellow listen, this isn’t going to change the world but I like it; what’s more, I think the fact that it’s short and to the point really helps it out – I’m not sure if my attention could be held for a full length.
