Shelf-Life is an album by the group Bedrock featuring keyboardist Uri Caine with bassist Tim Lefebvre and drummer Zach Danziger which was released on the Winter & Winter label in 2005.
[1] PopMatters correspondent Will Layman said "The sense of parody, exaggeration, and pastiche is dead-on brilliant, at least the first time you hear the disc...
[5] All About Jazz said "Depending on your personal tastes and breadth of exposure, the rapid and regular shifts in mood, style, and era on Shelf-Life may be energizing or disconcerting—probably a combination of the two.
As for me, it all adds up to pure joy, in no small part due to the music's unpredictability.
Caine, Danziger, and Lefebvre are not so reckless as to ever lose control, so individual tracks may wander a bit, but they never get lost.
