Greg Malcolm & Eugene Chadbourne - Jazz School

Jazz School by Greg Malcolm & Eugene Chadbourne

4...according to our on Thu 22 Apr, 2010.


I need educating sir. Where better than Jazz School? This opus was recorded in 2009 in an actual jazz school in New Zealand. The protagonists thought this would be a funny name for an album. It's an intriguing listen. It reminds me of the "Ren & Stimpy" soundtrack. It's generally made up of arpeggiated guitar and ominous background noise. It's instrumental and I guess it throws the form book out of the window. The musicianship's pretty sweet and the sleeve is a hand drawn affair. It's a compelling and strange record and if you're a fan of smoking fags and clicking your fingers and wobbling about in Jazz Bars then you should get this..........
