don't mind music that's completely divorced from jazz
influences, they might be pretty exciting. They have
work on Guenter Mueller's For4Ears
(http://www.for4ears.com) and O.O. Discs too, I think.
FMP reissued a long CD of duos between terrific
double-bassist Peter Kowald (whose solo improvisation
seems to me to be presented as a prayer, or
meditation, or ritual, albeit never in an ostentatious
way) and bassists Barry Guy and Barre Phillips,
respectively, both of whom have excellent solo work
still in print.
Maybe you would like solo bass insanity by the
monstrous Fernando Grillo, who has a good solo
recording on Ampersand/Cramps called FLUVINE (good
description on the Forcedexposure site), as well as
even more impressive stuff on various records by
composer Iancu Dumitrescu (check out MEDIUM
III...whew!).
A bit much, this mish-mash, but I think every one of
these would be worth exploring for fans of all things
improvised and/or avant.

Electric guitar is copied, the copy sounds better/Call this law and justice, call this freedom and liberty/I thought I perjure myself, right in front of the jury!"
