Sandy Ewen - guitar
Damon Smith - bass
Weasel Walter - drums and percussion

Very free, non-idiomatic improvised music by these three troublemakers.

“A new studio release from this trio of sonic deconstructivists. Wantonly abstract and stretching the limits of their instruments conceptually and technically, this long-running guitar/double bass/percussion returns with another manifesto of improvised musical surrealism.

"John D. Thomas's band of the 1980s, Serious Business (heard on Serious Business, focused on his fusion and "free funk" compositions played with an electric sound. Extremely Serious Business marked a turning point, a return to a more acoustic setting...

David's electric cello spars excellently with Arthur Blythe's alto sax on this 4/17/02 recording. Sometimes I forget how great Blythe is, and then something like this comes along and reminds me! [Midlantic]
