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...

Last Exit's Iron Path was the CD that convinced me to finally buy a CD player in 1988. (Though ultimately "Noise of Trouble: Live in Tokyo" is my fave of their recordings.)
