  The Lounge Lizards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lounge Lizards are a jazz group formed in 1978 by saxophone player John Lurie.
This edition of the Lounge Lizards recorded three albums in two years, and demonstrated John Lurie's increasingly sophisticated and multi-layered compositions, that often stray rather far from conventional jazz: He was able to integrate elements of various world musics (he often favors tango-inspired passages in his songs), which retain a distinctive flavor, but avoid gimmickry.
The Luries formed a new version of the Lounge Lizards in the early 1990s; prominent members included Steven Bernstein (trumpet), Michael Blake (saxophone), Oren Bloedow (bass guitar), Dave Tronzo (guitar), and Calvin Weston (drums).

 E.J.N. - JOHN LURIE & LOUNGE LIZARDS
And while Lounge Lizards leader John Lurie has long been the very personification of downtown cool, his music has a clear spirituality, making for an exhilarating blend of transcendence and street savvy.
The Lounge Lizards have been blessed with a perennial allure; the band's following has never abated, and a marvellously mixed following of jazz fans, rockers, young folk and old folks always pack the Lounge Lizards' transcendent live gigs.
Lizards alumni include Arto Lindsay, Marc Ribot, slide guitar virtuoso Dave Tronzo, Bob Dylan musical director Tony Garnier, Skeleton Key's Erik Sanko, Elysian Fields' Oren Bloewod, Billy Martin and John Medeski of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

 Austin Lounge Lizards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Austin Lounge Lizards are a band from Austin, Texas formed in 1980.
The band got its name because, Deisler explained, "I think it was a slang term I'd heard my grandmother use to describe gentlemen of easy virtue who hung around in bars.
When we started out, that's just what we were doing—hanging out and playing for beer and tips and stuff like that." The Austin Lounge Lizards began by playing covers, but eventually they wanted to move towards trying to write their own songs.

 About the Austin Lounge Lizards
Trademarks of a Lizards song are highly literate, sharply pointed lyrics that poke fun at politics, love, religion and the culture in general.
The Lizard musical style features precise four- and five-part vocal harmonies and instrumental mastery, particularly from Conrad Deisler on guitar, Korey Simeone on fiddle and mandolin, and Tom Pittman on banjo, dobro, and pedal steel guitar.
The Austin Lounge Lizards grew out of the songwriting relationship between Hank Card and Conrad Deisler, who met when they were history majors at Princeton University and started writing songs together in 1976.

 TrouserPress.com :: Lounge Lizards
Nonetheless, The Lounge Lizards remains a minor masterpiece for the way it remains true to its Monk-derived jazz (including two covers of Thelonious Sphere himself) by subverting it still further with Arto Lindsay's atonal guitar playing.
The Lizards joined their producer, Teo Macero (veteran producer/arranger of many a distinguished jazz record), as he indulged his post-romantic orchestral fantasies with the London Philharmonic on Fusion, an uninteresting '50s "third stream" symphonic jazz composition.
In mid-'86, a new incarnation of the Lounge Lizards — the Luries bolstered by another saxophonist (Roy Nathanson) and a trombonist (Curtis Fowlkes), plus a rhythm section and guitarist Marc Ribot —; signed to Island.

The Lizards, led by neo-saxman John Lurie, were best known for their outsider approach to bop.
Bandleader John Lurie really hit his stride with this live set, recorded in Tokyo with perhaps the strongest incarnation of the Lounge Lizards.
One might be forgiven for mistaking the Lounge Lizards' debut album for a traditional jazz release at a glance, what with the two Thelonious Monk covers and the participation of producer Teo Macero (who had previously worked with such heavyweights as Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck and Ella Fitzgerald, to name just a few).

Initially conceived as entertainment for a downtown New York art community (which, at the time, was knee-deep in no wave), the Lounge Lizards spent more than a decade with various lineups playing so-called fake jazz with pop and avant-garde rock tendencies.
The band's initial incarnation was led by saxophonist John Lurie, with brother Evan on piano, Arto Lindsay on guitar, Steve Piccolo on bass, and ex-Feelie Anton Fier on drums; this lineup appeared only on the band's acclaimed, all-instrumental, self-titled 1981 debut.
In 1985, during a hiatus in which Evan Lurie recorded his first solo piano album, the collection Live 79/81 was released; the group also recorded with producer Teo Macero and the London Philharmonic.

Though history has largely relegated them to a blind corner of artsy fusion for people who don't like real jazz, the Lounge Lizards still sound pretty terrific today.
The ironic fake jazz label they chose at the time doesn't fit today; this is more real than a lot of what's marketed as jazz right now.

The Lounge Lizards are masters of melody with riffs slightly reminiscent of other styles and periods but never a cheap copy of anything.
I dont know how to express this exactly but attempting: all the musicians seem completely free to offer their own interpretations and not limited by what some big head thinks is cool or correct (ala Pat Metheny or Wynton Marsalis).
The Lizards had graduated from being a punk/jazz joke into playing something like REAL JAZZ by the time of this release, but they were FAR from mature.

It has a sleazy, gritty sound that shows the early development and experimentation of the long-running institution that is The Lounge Lizards.
Lurie's sax plays many of the melodies, but perhaps more of a feature is the insane scraping sounds of Arto Lindsay's guitar and Evan Lurie wildly tinkering on the electric piano.
Later incarnations of The Lounge Lizards saw Lurie adding more and more horns, then other instruments and eventually creating a more layered sound, which incorporated some elements of classical and African musics (among countless others).

 Blogcritics.org: Austin Lounge Lizards @ Black Swamp
The Austin Lounge Lizards Friday-night set at the Black Swamp Arts Festival was the perfect antidote to a week of depressing news about how Katrina turned New Orleans into Bagdad.
Introduced as the second-funniest thing to come out of Texas, the five-piece quasi-bluegrass band ran through an energetic and engaging set of original satirical songs funny enough to make your cheeks cramp from the non-stop grinning.
Just reading the Lizard's smart, literate, often politically-oriented lyrics is funny enough; seeing the band perform the material live doubles the dosage.
