Several wonderful things distinguish Mostly Other People Do The Killing (MOPDtK) from almost any other band playing today in the long shadows of Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman. These are, in no particular order: a wild humor; an extreme sense of the angular melody; brave harmonies; and a leaping sense of rhythm. None of these pay ...

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Forty Fort

Read "Forty Fort" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

Even though jazz is an improvised art that's bursting with the unexpected, some groups stand out as being especially adventurous and wild.
