Has anyone ever heard of these guys? It's one of Ken Vandermark's bands.

It has got to be the weirdest jazz I've ever heard. I saw them at the Newport Jazz Fest. this year and they blew my mind. I'm having a tough time finding a physical CD to buy. The only thing I can find is the album on iTunes. All I have is an NPR recording of them playing at the festival.

I guess not. Well, If you're a jazz fan, I'd recommend this.

Nope, but it sounds damn good from what I'm hearing.  I'll be downloading this set.  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much sir. I thought this thread was dead for sure. The NPR recording just doesn't do justice.

They put on a great show. I actually found their CD here, but unfortunately not in their brick and mortar stores.
