Naked City

A groundbreaking and influential album that radically deconstructed the boundaries between genres. 'Naked City' is famous for its short, intensely focused tracks that violently switch between jazz, surf rock, hardcore punk, country, and film noir scores, often in the space of a few seconds. The music is a high-speed, postmodern collage of sound, executed with incredible virtuosity by an all-star band of downtown New York improvisers. It remains a landmark of the musical avant-garde.
