| | DOA - Haazz and Company - Unlawful Noise - Unheard Music Series |
 | | Currently the curator of ornithology at the National Museum of Natural History in Lisbon, Kees Hazevoet has completely distanced himself from his previous life as one of the prominent figures of the early European free jazz scene. |
 | | Split into two pieces, titled "Unlawful Noise" and "Agitprop Bounce," this record features Hazevoet leading a crew of accomplished professionals cranking out a fantastic racket, in the process boiling "music" down to its sweaty, barbaric essentials, the triad of noise, passion, and pure, undistilled, consciousness-piercing sound. |
 | | And when the interplay between piano, percussion, and Johnny Dyani's bass in the first few minutes of "Agitprop Bounce" gives way to a drum-less three-way dance between bass, piano, and suddenly assertive winds, you realize that sometimes music that sounds completely wrong can actually be one of the most god-damned right things you've ever heard. |
