Mushroom with Eddie Gale - Joint Happening
SKU

“Mushroom tossed the analog weirdness of Füxa, and the jagged experimentalism of Can into a dark, smoking concoction alongside acid-fried Funkadelic, Jack Johnson-style Miles Davis and even some groove-addled Medeski, Martin & Wood. The result was some of the most instantly accessible outrock around, exploratory, up and infectious. It's rich and trippy party music for ass and head.”-Pitchfork
"As if San Francisco-based psychedelic kraut-rock, indie-jazz experimentalists Mushroom didn’t have the ability to transport listeners to the furthest recesses of the mind with their own powers, on this latest album, Joint Happening, they’ve joined forces with none other than avant-jazz legend, cutting-edge trumpet visionary Eddie Gale, best known for his classic 1969 Blue Note album Black Rhythm Happening. Mushroom provides Gale with the foundation for some of the most ghostly and haunted improvisations of his career. With Mushroom’s tribal and hypnotic rhythms morphing and melting textures behind the trumpeter, the results can be described as freak jazz. Imagine 70's Miles Davis jamming with Can and Crazy Horse. Joint Happening is indeed 70-minutes worth of a stoned happening."-The San Francisco Bay Guardian
