Last Exit - Cassette Recordings '87


Still live, still pumping big-time improvised noise wail. This one features a take of Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man" that sounds like no other version you've ever heard. This is mighty powerful stuff, and those a tad squeamish when it comes to full-bore noisemaking and improvised energy should explore this record only with proper supervision. There's no telling what will happen if you're left alone with these guys for any length of time.- John Dougan

More sonic destruction from perhaps the loudest free jazz group of all.

Last Exit


Debut album by this free jazz supergroup composed of Peter Brotzmann, Bill Laswell, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and the late great Sonny Sharrock. Insane even by free jazz's standards, it's loud, noisy, and chaotic. Not for the faint of heart.
