JOHN BARTLES - "Erie Niagara Noir" (2005)

The 10th day of John Bartles stuff reveals the abstract free jazz side of John's music, and his ability to step aside and let the musicians do whatever the Hell they want to. I just realized I dipped into this release a couple of years ago and a song called "The Sphinx." This however is something completely different.

John can put vocals over anything so there's no need for restraint, and he can call it something like "Erie Niagara Noir."

Here's a very short instrumental piece featuring Todd Whitman on Saw and Friction Devices, joined by Mike Hermanson on Trombone.

A Short History!

In the late 80's and early 90's, Brian James Riedel, Gary Wray, and myself had a lot of weekend garage music get togethers, and after the advent of fairly inexpensive drum machines and four tracks, we started taping the stuff we were doing as a band called Hermanos Guzanos. One year I met Bob X's brother Johnny Primitive at the San Diego Com Con and he told me he was having pretty good results making cassettes and sending them to college radio stations! I started sending and receiving cassettes and magazines to artists all over the world. The rest is history! My collection is in the 100's, so get ready for a wild and wooly ride! There's some great music still out there that has been heard by so few, but I'm going to do my little part to change that some!
