  Ok, I must admit my interest in music is proportional to the amount, complexity and variety of musical information it contains. That's why I got into jazz. Though I still love 70/80s rock, I found in jazz from bebop to fusion energy plus content. I realise your agenda may be different and discoun...

  No, playing jazz-pop - this is hardly experimental. It's derivative, recreationist - a bit of punk, bit of country, simple diatonic structures. No advance here.

  How bizarre, seeing Sverrisson, an old man who can really play (Allan Holdsworth et al) with a punk jazz band. I'm sure he's coining it though - musicians gotta live, and that often means compromise.

  Ibanez Tsa15H.
  
  This is one nice 15 watt amp. sounds a lot like S.R.V. It is a TSA15H, I hit the wrong key on my video.

Ibanez AS-200, 10-46 strings (sometimes 11 for 10), Pro-co Rat - one of the most imitated guitar sounds of the 80s-90s was...

I never quite get these players - they seem sometimes out of tune and with merely ok technique - not much speed and sometimes shaky time. Or is that an intentional attitude? It's sounds kind of weak - or is it an intentional expression of human frailty and in a minute they might pull a hot, killi...

  Loads of energy - imagine if they played jazz. It's encouraging to see punks adopting jazz instruments, though. A few lessons in harmony, rhythm and melodic invention and it might be the next big thing. At the moment it's a bit 1970s. Remember Back Door (though they knew harmony so not an exact c...

Tremendous - world class stuff in writing and trumpet - Harry Beckett? Superb clarity of recording too. He must have been an inspirational character.

By the way, he died 9 September, about 10.30pm. The 10 September error is proliferating over the web, as it will.

  It's posited on a misunderstanding of bebop. Although fast and chromatically dense, bebop was structured - harmonically, above all.

  Frith shows no technique and precious little musical awareness. Zekri plays well although his vocab over this drone is pretty much in the McLaughlin mode of In A Silent Way. It's ok. The notion of art as suffering that entitles every Tom, Dick and Harry to bore us to death has got a lot answer for.

  The political dimension should not be missed. Notice how he dismisses his dance-band 2-5-1s in favour of the 'freedom' of atonality. The implication is that 2-5-1s stand for bourgeois complacency while atonality expresses free-thinking. Ironically, for its success the 'music' requires the complic...
