Andy Partridge

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: 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 »

Sex Mob

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

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 »

Nils Petter Molvaer

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

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 »

Sao Paulo Underground

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: 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 »

Degenerate Art Ensemble

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: Half acid-jazz outfit, half crazed dance troupe, half percussion performance piece, half delirious symphony, the DAE does, yes, add up to much more than the sum of its parts. Or is it much less? The ... more »

The Flying Luttenbachers

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: It's no small task trying to uncover the "jazz" inside the Luttenbachers' intense death-metal/prog-rock/avant-garde hybrid. Incandescent guitar riffs swirl over murderous bass lines, and that ain't Ar... more »

Good for Cows

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: It shouldn't be surprising that this Bay Area drum and bass duo plays avant-garde jazz with an almost rockish aggression; bassist Devin Hoff's time in the Nels Cline Singers clearly taught him that sm... more »

Eric von Essen

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: 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 »

Jenny Scheinman

Filed Under: Avant-Garde Jazz

Editors' Review: Though now a much in-demand performer in N.Y.--who has played and recorded with Bill Frisell and Norah Jones, among others--Scheinman was raised in ultra-rural Northern California, and her gorgeous ja... more »

Mark Dresser
