For me this could be side by side with other Jazz artists on shops,

Having a great time listening to it. Interesting that "psycho" segment
in the middle, some madness for our ears, and the Rhodes' bending like
a record player running out of battery.
And I also think drummer is really good and a driving force behind.
Good to know where to contact him, just in case.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! There's a video of it too.
Oh, and I just remembered after thinking about it: most of that was written by the
drummer, who is also quite a skilled composer and producer as well. I think we added a few
small things, improvised around it quite a bit, and of course tacked Radiohead onto the
end of it, but most of that composition was Dan's. I think the first three sections
(the intro riff, the funky/swing section, and whole-tone scale walkup) were peices
he'd written some years before, and I remember when he called me with the idea of the
11/4 section which was added later. The 15/4 section might have been a group composition,
and then Radiohead for the last bit. Memory's hazy on all that though.

Found this little gem, covered with obvious mistakes, (which is why it was never really
published) but still interesting if you like weird jazz in odd meters:
http://storage.restivo.org/music/Cronies/suite-2007-11-06.ogg
Linux content is all the keyboards, which are: fluidsynth, two crazy AMS patches, jconv,
jack-rack, etc.
Warning: it's 18 minutes long.
Part of it is in 11/4. There's also a nice windshield wiper moment where 3 bars of
5/4 are overlaid on 2 bars of 5/4.
The end of this epic beast consists of a cover of "Morning Bell" by Radiohead.

Well it took some time to get around to listening to this, but I finally
made
it!
I very much enjoyed listening to all 18 minutes. Good jazz is something I
really appreciate, and this is both good and original.
