What we say This record left our Mingus feeling happy. George Steeltoe Ensemble: 'Church Of Yuh' (Heat Retention) Continuing our improvised jam session this week is a vinyl only LP of freestyle skronking Jazz for fans of all manner of Free Jazz Freakery. I could mention some luminaries of the American Jazz stable , but that would be lazy of me, needless to say if you like the 'out there' modes of Ayler, Coltrane etc. then you'll like this mish mash of bass, vocals, guitars, electronics, alto & tenor saxophones, flute, trumpet, pianos and keyboards, not forgetting the percussive strains generated from a contact mic, tin can, tapes and tone generator. Now imagine all that lot boiling hot and cold in cauldron. Whether it's good or not i'll leave it up to the buffs to deduce, for me it boils this side of good due to its balance of calm and storm across both sides. What the label says: Made up of a revolving company of musicians, performing artists and dancers, the George Steeltoe Ensemble can loosely be compared to the Respective Arkestras of Sun Ra and Horace Tapscott. The same communal sensibility thunders from the grooves of the Ensemble's Church of Yuh debut, a passionate gust of free jazz and experimental manipulation that sounds like the Art Ensemble of Chicago jamming with Jackie-O Motherfucker.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
