TBW! punk/jazz miniCD
It's finally here. The statement that had to be made. Of course I can't spell it out because the manifesto is in the music. Punk/Jazz is 16:01 of everything that The Belgian Waffles! have been developing since 1991. That's when Tony, Matt and Bill, met Dan, Heather and Chris. Our coats had the same colors but some were black with white spots and some were white with black spots. Now our attitudes of both Punk and Jazz have become a singular state of mind and action.
What it's not is: idiomatic genre bending, clever, "punky" or "jazzy" or god forbid, pretentious "dilly-dallying" (what passes for today's avant garde). It may be an extension of Charles Mingus' "Organized Chaos" theory. What it is contains the energy and sophistication of the "punk ethic" and the "jazz ethic" (wanna can opener?) getting together to create a rationally Anarchic circumstance in which to create music (see William Godwin).
So, we showed up to fill our slot, spontaneously created a composition and left the stage. No injured. No dead. Life should be so easy.
