The Record Cabinet, a Kansas City area record store in the 1990s, specialized in obscure recordings of improvised music. James DeRigne, the shop’s proprietor, embraced Kansas City swing and European prog-rock. In DeRigne’s world, the rhythms produced by the Basie drummer Jo Jones and the King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford were inextricably linked. Had he not died in 2008, DeRigne would likely have embraced the Jorge Arana Trio. The Kansas City based instrumental ensemble creates freak-jazz and math-rock that sounds like the correct solution to a complex equation in which Robert Fripp is divided by Sonny Sharrock. Mammoth, the Jorge Arana Trio’s astounding new album, contains 30 minutes of hyper-kinetic noise.
