October Faction S/T


This album is a forgotten gem of Pioneering free jazz improv punk rock fusion. Even though Greg Ginn is Greg Ginn I still think he’s a seriously underrated guitarist, especially by jazz fans. The instrumental tracks on the seemingly almost forgotten Black Flag’s Family Man attest to the brilliance of Ginn’s improv chops. Joe Baiza who more so than Greg Ginn bridges the gap between punk rock and free jazz is great. If you’re at all partial to this type of music his discography is essential. This is music that was highly influenced by Ornette and weed and probably most importantly 1980’s LSD. Somebody has to come to this record’s defense. It’s under appreciated because it doesn’t pay deference to punk or jazz. It’s irreverent music but the spirit and talent shine through. Some day this will be universally heralded as a cult classic masterpiece and you can tell all your friends you heard it here first.
