(Avant-Garde Jazz) Mayhem Circus Electric - Lubricity - 2010, MP3, 320 kbps

Mayhem Circus Electric is a raucous improv band that makes excitement out of thin air and develops written themes with a singular purpose. And just a hint of electric Miles Davis. Lubricity captures the spirit of Mayhem Circus Electric in mid-flight with sonic celebrations of solid rhythmic invention underneath spiraling themes and counter-themes. Metallic percussive fury complements exploratory bass clarinet. Oh Yeah!
MCE takes chances in an aggressive musical exploration, but always gives you something to hold onto. Sometimes a theme, sometimes just a strand of tonality, always interesting rhythms. Just when it seems like things might get all abstract on you, the band takes you and your hips to a higher level of avant groove.
Mayhem Circus Electric exploded out of the ever-expanding New Haven Improvisers Collective.
