This is a mix of all free jazz & avant-jazz...although i don't think there's a real difference between the two of them. The general idea is that as the tracks go on, the dissonance gradually increases, although i don't really have an objective measure of "dissonance" so maybe i mixed one or two up in the order.

So now you're probably thinking, "Why did you do a mix of all free jazz? Are you realy that goddamn pretentious?" To the second question, the answer is yes. But more than that, i like to expose people to things they haven't heard before. A lot of people have heard Miles Davis, but not many have heard Ornette Coleman. A lot of people know who John Coltrane is, but are largely unaware of the chaos of his later works.

And that brings me to another point. Free jazz is probably one of the most influential types of music to the kind of music i'm most interested and involved in, which would be diy punk and noise and the points at which they cross. Lou Reed cited Ornette Coleman as a major influence; Lightning Bolt likes Sun Ra. Emo, especially, has taken a lot of influence from free jazz: for instance on the back of Swing Kids' first 7", you'll find a quote from Cecil Taylor. But more than that, you'd have to be deaf to not hear the paralells in the cacophony and chaos found in many emo bands and the similar dissonance in the climactic parts of a free jazz movement. And of course noise would simply not exist without free jazz first setting a precedent.

Oh, and if you're asking "Is this the last time you'e going to put something pornographic on a mixtape cover?" the answer is maybe.

Year: 1959
Track Description:
Though he was apparently unhappy with the term "free jazz," this tape still had to include him...he was the person who gave it a name. The song title is also appropriate, given that Miles Davis reportedly said he was "All screwed-up inside."

This was one of Coltrane's favorite pieces to perform live, and i think it's really cool how as his career goes on, you can hear it grow more wandering, more abstract.

Track Description:
A person i know claims that this song is so innovative, it actually invented grindcore twenty or so years before the fact. I don't think it's quite that fast, but if you listen to the speed of it, you can definitely see a hint of what's to come...

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

Excellent mix. Have a look at "Bird In Widnes" if you can find a copy. It is just drums and sax (Jon Stevens and DIck Heckstall-Smith)
