The Coimbra Concert

by Mostly Other People Do the Killing

Known heavily for their deeply sarcastic, deconstructive approach to jazz history, the New York-based quartet delivered an explosive performance at the Jazz ao Centro Festival in Portugal. The recording aggressively splices traditional bop structures with sudden, manic bursts of free improvisation, presenting a brilliantly chaotic critique of jazz purism.
