went to the jazz cafe tonight to see "the soil and pimp sessions" a japanese latin/free sextet, including a master of cerimonies that occasionally uses a megaphone.
The drummer was inhuman, the saxophonist sent me into a trance (several times), the trumpet slayed me(and gave me a little wood, it was the fur hat), the bassist was mingus reincarnated (and maybe better), and the piano, fuck. wow.good god.( genius).

I say everyone should buy their stuff because they are excellent.
so there.
do it, get off your greasy couch and spend eight weeks trying to find obscure music.
You'll love it more afterwards.
