Recorded live at UCLA in 1967, this archival release is seeing the light of day repackaged and remastered nearly four decades after its initial performance. Pieces of Eight was assembled only once for these recordings, with Don Ellis offering up a two-disc set of frenzied but enjoyable performances. The highlights are no doubt Ellis' fascination with difficult rhythmic combinations and manic fluctuations of odd time signatures and his band, surprisingly, performs most of the material with great fluidity. There's also a surprising amount of microtonality from the players as well. Fans of Ellis' work will no doubt revel in these compositions and what is essentially a "new" recording from a truly groundbreaking composer.~ Rob Theakston Don Ellis Pieces Of Eight Songs | | Pieces Of Eight CD DISC 1: |

Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More importantly, this band -- which also included drummer Shadow Wilson ...

The follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Hardcore, City of Angles takes “industrial jazz” to new extremes. Straightahead swing is juxtaposed with dense polymetrics (the title track, for instance, shifts between 4/4, 3/4, 11/8, 15/8, 9/8, 5/8 and 7/4), lyrical melodies coexist with noise and atonality, and compositional intricacy is complemented by (and often confused with) freewheeling improvisation. Throughout the set the group (expanded to eleven players) retains its trademark wit, demonstrating a refreshingly ironic self-consciousness not often found in postmodern jazz.Reviews:“Performed with a wink and a nod - and some scintillating virtuosity - Industrial Jazz Group's new disc, City of Angels, is a compelling mix of genres, odd time signatures and tight improvisation. […] [It] is a melodic, passionate disc, filled with snippets and effects rarely heard in modern jazz. There are references from Dixieland to third stream - and everything in between.”Michael J. Ryan, The Boston Herald“[…] City of Angles [reveals] Durkin to be a composer with his own voice and sensibility (everybody has influences), one who can put together some very nice horn charts, to boot. His music is warm, engaging, and intelligent without being dry and humorless. Durkin writes music that people who think they hate jazz would like, the kind of jazz that deserves air play but probably won't get it, except from the odd campus radio station with a broadcasting range of seven blocks.”Tom Bowden, The Education Digest“Durkin's joy in making music makes his work such a pleasure to listen to. Even the compositions here that have a more serious edge to them, such as 'Void When Detached' or 'Anger Management Classes,' are filled with the confident bounce of a musician who embraces melody and likes the things he finds in it. I should point out that Durkin is aided by ten musicians of outstanding ability, including Evan Francis (who made key contributions to Hardcore) on alto and flute, Eldad Tarmu on vibes, and Daniel Glass on drums. These are demanding tunes to play and it's the skill of the musicians on City of Angles that makes them work.” Joseph Taylor, Soundstage“I'm not really sure how you play peanut butter, but according to the liner notes, Eldad Tarmu of the Industrial Jazz Group doubles as a vibraphonist and a peanut butterist. In addition, composer Andrew Durkin, responsible for nearly all of the pieces on this album, advises listeners to skip one track (“a bombastic Wagnerian ...
