'Hardbop Convulsions'
Another demented anti-jazz split on Cultus!!
NPV delivers jazz puke fueled by blast beats, while ZJ delivers a jazz-addiction mellow atmosphere. A nice shock treatment as a cure for jazz cabbage and other rituals.

I just found a couple of rare recordings I had lost in the vaults. I was asked to sit in on bass with the Blood & Bone Orchestra at the Mez in Rochester NY in May 2008. It was an honor subbing in for these gigs when their bass player couldn't make it. Some of the best shows I've ever played.
