jazz music stops (live at Crystal Palace) by cgi jesus

Instrumental jazz punk probably influenced by bands like Universal Congress Of, Gone, and the Minutemen as well as Zorn and maybe Brötzmann.

The bassist, Kevin Eichenberger, takes credit for the song writing. He and the alto playing Garen Dorsey provide all the listening credibility this band offers on this recording. The highlights mostly come when Dorsey steers away from the avant garde and experiments with a more modal sound. In order for this to really pull off the jazz punk thing they would need to find a much better drummer than James "Pweedledido" Gibian who fails to hold the band together, form a base, and frankly, to excite the listener. As for the guitar, Brett Jones offers nothing to this performance. At best, I can say he doesn’t completely ruin it. I have my doubts about how deep the talent pool runs in Richmond.
