This was such a great group, but they only put out one studio album (plus one live that has mostly the same songs). Frisell rocking out with an awesome rhythm section.

Was Naked City the first band that could really rock out AND do free improvisation?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:17pm

There was a No Wave scene in the late 70s, think much of it would fit that description (and I think Naked City was a bit later, but I could be wrong here)

DNA (Arto Linsay's 1st band) quickly. comes to mind. For that mater, Ornette's Prime Time Dancing in your HEad was 1972.
  8:50pm
Dean:

I'd guess that Zorn was contemporaneous with the No Wave scene, a perfect combination. My intro to Zorn was much later, '88, when Kronos Quartet performed "Forbidden" Fruit on their Winter Was Hard album. DNA was great, as was Mars.

This is from 1971, won't have time for it tonight unfortunately, but I've played it on my show before. www.cherryred.co.uk...

@doctorj, I don’t think Dancing in Your Head had much rock in it. Later Prime Time albums definitely did.

Consider, doctorjazz, that I'm trying to figure out how to acquire two $45k monophonic amplifiers. Your desire is far more prudent.
