What do you do when you've mastered the art of the pop song? If you're the XTC bandleader, you tackle its musical opposite: avant-garde jazz. Partridge's Monstrance project dips into murky sonics and ... more »

Editors' Review:
Not for the faint of ear, NY's Sex Mob builds its compositions from imploding electronics, groaning horns, and barbaric yawps. It's a devilish stew, fractured and often barely tonal, but avant-gardist... more »

Editors' Review:
Too often, classic jazz and the genre's more modern, electronic strains are assumed to be at odds. This Norwegian composer smartly scoffs at that divide. His latest material links ambient washes, dron... more »

As with most avant garde jazz, there's a lot going on in a Sao Paulo Underground track. There are layers of skittering percussion, wandering trumpet lines, and frantic drums within the lively, intercu... more »

A sort of modern-day Mingus, the late Von Essen was a fine bassist whose true talent may have been his compositions. Von Essen spent 11 years honing his playing and writing chops with the avant-garde ... more »
