The âMiddle Easternâ vibe youâre getting is from the way theyâre using the horns, woodwinds, and the rhythm, which is based on Klezmer, a style of jazz developed in the early 20th century among the European Jewish community. Often segregated and ostracized from the bourgeoisie, they developed their own distinctive style of jazz, which is reflected in many of Supertrampâs tracks, especially on this album.
Supertramp experimented with Klezmer at a time when many mainstream artists were playing around with Reggae, Ska, and Afro Beat styles.

Once again, this is a song I've been listening to for decades, and my brain has it memorized, and then you listen to it and analyze it with your musical knowledge, and all these things that I took for granted, that went under the radar, are finally exposed, revealed and reverse engineered. Thank you, Elizabeth

Roger Hodgson has to be in the top 10 greatest musician/singer/songwriters of all time. And Supertramp is absolutely incredible. By the way, Roger wrote this song when he was literally 18 years old and dreaming of coming to America. Every song on the Breakfast of America album is great. It's one of the greatest albums of all time and one of the best selling albums of all time. It sold like 19 million copies.

I like how the vocal enunciations, along with the honks and squeals of the clarinet, give the song a Klezmer-like Eastern European flavor...like the imaginary storyteller/singer grew up behind the Iron Curtain with fables of an enchanted land called America. Marvelous songwriting and story telling.

I love your reactions because of your technical knowledge but also because of the joy you exude in listening and discovering these musical gems. Your child-like enthusiasm is quite infectious. Both "The Logical song" and "Breakfast in America" are from a live Supertramp album called "Paris" . I think you'll love the whole concert. If you like 10 minute songs, "Fool's Overture" clocks in @ 10:57, so.. there you go đ. The album was recorded on 1979, btw

Your next reaction to them has to be Take the Long Road Home followed by Goodbye Stranger.
