Therefore, the opener, &#8220;Street Culture,&#8221; the title tune, with its bass-line reflects the human struggle with energy generated by the culture of everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>  Even the Internet is noted by Tobey in the tune &#8220;Netster,&#8221; an homage to a new force shaping our culture. Funny though, &#8220;Netster&#8217;s&#8221; rhythm reflects old New Orleans music.<\/p>\n<p>  I don&#8217;t know that it is important we labor trying to make the music somehow fit Tobey&#8217;s cultural reflections. The music is good enough and performed well enough to entertain on its own. Tobey is a highly skilled pianist who keeps original ideas flowing at a tempo matching the fast paced &#8220;In My Own Time.&#8221; He and Murley are comfortable executing their freshness over the fierce rhythms generated by drummer Terry Clarke and bassist Jim Vivian.
