Jazz, noise and headcleaning music in Grant Park Wednesday night
March 20th, 2009 by Chad Radford in Listening Stack, Music newsOn Wednesday night a slew of jazz, noise and otherwise head-cleaning sounds are making a stand at Capsule in Grant Park (in the former Youngblood space on Glennwood Avenue SE and Waldo Street SE near I-20/Boulevard).
Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth says of headling act, Michigan reeds/electronics duo Slither, “If two improvising horns in fug-mind gut interplay is not jazz then the form is dead. We say it is more alive than anyone in moldy fig land will ever know at this point. Slither is excellent reed street waste. Today’s jazz for today’s playboys.”
