Power Tools - Strange Meeting

Here's one (I hope) you don't see every day.

So, in Ronald Shannon Jackson, you've got a drummer from Last Exit, a free-jazz metal band.

Melvin Gibs is from Defunkt, and you can guess from the name what that is.

And playing guitar, it's a Pre-Zorn...Bill Frisell.

A one-off trio, interesting, and probably not quite what you're expecting...

"
I had heard recently a 2010 interview with #MelvinGibbs (whose work I generally admire, and who as an interview subject, is always chock full of incisive observations and interesting stories about the NYC downtown scene) mentioned the name of someone I had never heard before somehow, the late guitarist #AlfoniaTims...If you are familiar with #OrnetteColeman‘s #harmolodic concepts, it’s going to have some very familiar facets"
