CRANE/TOTH DUO - Live

First available recordings by this long-running freak jazz duo. Recorded over various U.S cities during the summer of 2005, Live expertly captures the primitive dynamism of these two sound-obsessed players. James Toth-¢??s playing is feral and militantly unsophisticated, but Lucas -¢??Bones-¢?? Crane, on trumpet, is the draw here. It is certain that aficionados will instantly recognize Crane-¢??s mastery of his instrument in the traditional sense, but like many great players before him, Crane-¢??s unique tone and fluid sense of melody are the byproducts of many years of defiant unlearning in the face of tedium and scholarship. What results is an exciting document of New Music not for the faint of heart or spirit. Strictly limited to 150 copies. - Polyamory.
