Unfortunately, this cuts off shortly after the beginning of a duo passage between the two Johns...here you can go directly to it, if you so wish:



And here is Sharp in a solo spot:

Little Women, et al., live in Lakewood

Little Women at Bela Dubby on Friday, 04/09/10, performing "Throat part 1" from the album "Throat" (Aum Fidelity Records)

Travis Laplante, tenor sax; Darius Jones, alto sax; Andrew Smiley, guitar; Jason Nazary, drums.

The dark circles on the wall are paintings done on 12" vinyl records (Bela Dubby is a cafe and gallery; it also serves beer). My favorite non-musical part of their set was during one of the segments where the saxes drop out and the guitar and drums duet. Darius Jones stood over by one of the walls in front of one of the record paintings, and it looked like he had a black halo...

Opening were the duo of Dan Wenninger on tenor sax and Nate Scheible on drums:



Rounding out the show was Mike Forbes (also of Tiger Hatchery and the Forbes/Young/Walter trio) on tenor and J. Guy Laughlin on drums:

The Ex and Brass Unbound

The Ex & Brass Unbound, Bristol, Fleece, 01/29/10, the first gig of their U.K. tour



Here they are in Birmingham, at the Hare and Hounds, on 02/01/10. Dig Mats Gustafsson dumping the excess saliva from his baritone sax. This song has a "Fiery Jack" vibe to it, though not exactly...



UPDATE: This has been a pretty popular post (though not as popular as TheHoundblog's Jane Birkin posts), so I thought I'd throw a little more in...

Skronk on the Run

"With anything, my aim seems to be to distort it. Distort it from what we know it as, even with music, with visual things. But the aim is to change it from what it is to see what it could be. To see the potential in it all. The point is to take a note and wreck the note and see in that note what else there is in it that a simple act like distorting it has caused." ---P.M., 1966
