about

This is not a Jazz album. But in it, you can hear the influences of Coltrane, Miles, Scofield, Metheny, Bailey, Haynes, Colaiuta, Ayler, Zorn and many many more. This is strictly pure Improvisational music. Kelvin on the electric guitar, Boon Gee on drums. Going for it in every bar. Playing straight from pure soulful intuition. Falling off the highest mountain expecting to grow wings. A tribute to the great great music called jazz. But sometimes pushing that tribute with noise, dissonances, and the sweet loud sonic verbosity of rock, noise and the avant-garde. Coltrane knew it was all Sound. Sound is the Zeitgeist.
