More Doug Lofstrom in 1981' s Spontaneous Combustion, but free jazz





Doug is the gentleman in the center, and plays bass, flute, percussion and 'vocals.'  Corpolongo is on saxes and Paul Wertico on drums.
I should have realized from the title that we were to expect free jazz and spontaneous improvs and been a bit more circumspect.  What I find most irritating about free jazz is the mix of pure noise with dissonant atonal (which I often don't mind) and ridiculous dixieland sounds that are completely incongruent, as if you had a patch of renaissance cherub and Madonna inside a Pollock.

Here's the last track, thankfully brief:



ANYONE FOR A LOSSLESS?

    Ouch! I'm with you on this one. Really like his "music" album from the other day though.

    Thanks Julian. Very interesting music as I'm much more amenable to free improvisation. On another note, I recently finally caught up with the East River Consort post. Great record! Would you be open to sharing the Noonan, Levi and Houshmand LP?

    Anyway, all the best!
