This is pretty close to where my head is at this afternoon.

As always, let loose a primal scream and press pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTube.

Last Exit – Destination-Out (1986)
Frankfurt TV gig. Sonny Sharrock – guitar; Bill Laswell – bass (guitar w/octave divider?); Peter Brozman – sax; Ronald Shannon Jackson – drums.

Are you hip to Sonny Sharrock?

“I’ve had guys come up to me… and tell me how they were inventing new horns to get a new sound. But they never said anything about getting some new feeling… I’d ask those people, ‘Don’t forget the feeling. The music is about feeling.’ …You have to think like Coltrane, you know, and just say, ‘I’m gonna blow my heart out in this horn – every night.’ And that’s what music should be about.”

From the Last Exit wiki.

The band was known for its uncompromising musical ferocity, fueled by the band members’ confrontational attitudes. Greg Kot writes that they brought a level of “volume and violence that makes most rock bands sound tame.” Their music was largely improvised; John Dugan writes “Granted, one person’s free improvisation is another’s tuneless chaos, but Last Exit, due primarily to the skill of its individuals, only infrequently fell off the precipice into the netherworld of arty wanking … The playing is intricate, wildly adventurous, frequently funny, and, perhaps most important, a tribute to musical democracy in action.”
