The Lou Grassi Band with Marshall Allen "Live at the Knitting Factory Volume 1"

(Porter) Grassi's is an earthly drummer, his hypnotizing beats seemingly emanating from a rainforest or jungle somewhere, where they lead an ancient civilization of jazz aborigines on a mission that will either be completed when they dress a giraffe carcass or when they score a Jim Jarmusch film. Marshall Allen is from outer space, his sax and flute sending signals to his interstellar armada telling them to conquer earth, but leave Manhattan alone until we finish this hot set. Put earth and space together and what do you get? Atmosphere!
