Local free jazz outfit, Wasteland Jazz Unit, garners attention with American Tapes Release



"My favorite 2008 release from American Tapes. Sax and clarinet skronk over droning noise. I think the American Tapes description was Borbetomagus on meth, which is disturbingly accurate. I think it may be on other blogs as well but it's too good not to post here."

John Rich and John Lorenz from Wasteland Jazz Unit also run the Art Damage Lodge, a venue in Cincinnati, Ohio that showcases everything from experimental noise to free jazz to indie rock. In addition to running the venue, they also host the Art Damage Radio Show, which can be heard locally on WAIF 88.3 FM and on the internet via the station's website. I missed a No-Wave Movie Night there tonight and was going to buy one of their split LP's there. Dammit!!!
