The Coctails-Long
Sound CD
saki002
Their most challenging album, originally released in 1993. An excellent
instrumental garage "jazz-like" album with 4 untrained guys distilling
their favorite bits of Mingus, Sun Ra & Miles into a cohesive work that was
too rock for the jazz snobs & waaaay too jazz for the pop/rock
crowd at the time. As usual, they were either way past their time,
or way ahead
of it.
From the liners: "A particular aesthetic that could fall somewhere between
The Shaggs' masterpiece Philosophy of the World & Albert Ayler's Spirits
Rejoice. Features performances by KEN VANDERMARK on 3 songs, HAL RUSSELL
(NRG ENSEMBLE) on 2 songs & are his final recordings, & Dave Max Crawford
(ARCHER PREWITT, POI DOG PONDERING) on 2 songs. "Riveting in its intensity & refreshing,
for these days, in its originality." — Cadence 8/94
