Mostly Other People Do the Killing - Hannover (Live) (2015)

Fresh from the mini-furore surrounding their provocative note-for-note Kind of Blue album 'Blue', here we have the satirical orthodoxy-inverting New York quartet recorded live (at Jazz Club Hannover in February 2014) and, as the liner notes state, this is 'avant-garde jazz having fun'. This recording documents the culmination of 10 years of MOPDtK performing live together. The band is heard weaving between compositions and improvisations effortlessly, seamlessly and spontaneously. 'The group has established a reputation for subversion, deconstructing standards and their own material through deliberately erratic experimentation and a humorous performance style.' BBC Jazz on 3
