Now's the Time: B.C.R.
Thirty-seven years ago, a kid affiliated with the Kansas City Art Institute created a noisy sound collage. A befuddled blogger listed it as one of the Ten Best Kansas City Jazz Recordings. Black Crack Revue, eventually better known as B.C.R., evolved into a Dada-esque Sun Ra-inspired jazz band in the late '70s and early '80s. B.C.R. then morphed into the arty dance band displayed in the embedded 1995 video. Thomas Aber, Dwight Frizzell, Jazzbo, Stan Kessler and Randy Weinstein are among the featured musicians. B.C.R. performs at the RecordBar on Sunday, April 29.

Amusing but pretty conventional. This is BCR after all! Can't you post something a little um... weirder?
I don't disagree, Anon. That's one reason I linked to the "noisy sound collage/Anal Magic" link.
LOL - that album cover is nasty!
It's so nasty that the mere thought of it apparently prevents me from writing properly.
