Led by the highly idiosyncratic Chicago composer and multi-instrumentalist, this brilliantly unconventional session playfully deconstructs the rigid boundaries of modern jazz. 'Just the Facts and Pass the Bucket' utilizes an incredibly unorthodox instrumentation—including cello, French horn, and two drummers—to weave dense, dizzying polyphonies and marching-band-esque themes. The highly acclaimed record is a vibrant, joyous triumph of American avant-garde composition.
