“It's the most radical jazz record I've heard from a Madison group in years.”
-- Kevin Lynch, The Capital Times.
Formed in 2003, the Bastard Trio explores a controlled chaos of sound.
Cerebral ambience grows into dense sonic masses. A solid groove emerges from sputtering. Precision playing devolves into a lurching swagger. Sonic exploration produces a music with no evident pedigree.
“The Bastard Trio sounds like smooth jazz and neo-conservative jazz never happened,” says reviewer Kevin Lynch. “It's as if jazz has cranked full speed ahead since the heyday of New York loft jazz in the 1970s.”
The band names as influences Last Exit, Fushitsusha, Keiji Haino, Peter Brötzmann, The Vandermark 5, Flying Luttenbachers, and John Zorn.
