The first collaboration of Vlatkovich, Britt and Crigger. Poems and music performed from 1980 through 1985. Performances at that time were mostly in los Angeles art galleries and small jazz venues.

Everyday (or almost everyday) something is going on around Los Angeles, but once in a while something great goes on there.  Something like this blend (encounter), something like this existential poetry evocative of the furies of Bukowski, melting with the pure tones of the trombonist and his musician friends.  If you want to impress the current person in your life heree is “the” recording to give.  J. Yves Picoron, Presse-Ocean, Nantes, France

“I play it a lot!  Will definitely play it on upcoming special.  #60 is the “Best Rap Song” of the August /September sweeps in Atlanta.” PATRICK DOWDEY – WREK, ATLANTA
"I played composition #43 on Dec 2.  I like the album.  It is certainly a performance work.  You’ve got a great voice!  Tom Waits meets Captain Beefheart.  Works great with the music.  What a contrast!  It’s wacky and eccentric. I Like the music too!  I like it best when tough, funky and funny.  I love the trombone!!" JACKI APPLE - HIGH PERFORMANCE:

"Each is an outstanding player deserving of wide critical and popular acclaim, together this unit burns."LA READER
