George Steeltoe Ensemble: 'Church Of Yuh' (Heat Retention) Continuing our improvised jam session this week is a vinyl only LP of freestyle skronking Jazz for fans of all manner of Free Jazz Freakery. I could mention some luminaries of the American Jazz stable , but that would be lazy of me, needless to say if you like the 'out there' modes of Ayler, Coltrane etc. then you'll like this mish mash of bass, vocals, guitars, electronics, alto & tenor saxophones, flute, trumpet, pianos and keyboards, not forgetting the percussive strains generated from a contact mic, tin can, tapes and tone generator. Now imagine all that lot boiling hot and cold in cauldron. Whether it's good or not i'll leave it up to the buffs to deduce, for me it boils this side of good due to its balance of calm and storm across both sides.Made up of a revolving company of musicians, performing artists and dancers, the George Steeltoe Ensemble can loosely be compared to the Respective Arkestras of Sun Ra and Horace Tapscott. The same communal sensibility thunders from the grooves of the Ensemble's Church of Yuh debut, a passionate gust of free jazz and experimental manipulation that sounds like the Art Ensemble of Chicago jamming with Jackie-O Motherfucker.
