"The Jus Grew Orchestra was Jemeel Moondoc's chief artistic focus for nearly a decade. The band's hellified performances at Lower East Side venues such as Neither/Nor, 1st on 1st, & the Newyorican poetry cafe are the stuff of underground legend. Lower East Side gentrification & a burgeoning conservatism in jazz combined to put the band out of work. Nearly one decade later, Moondoc re-formed Jus Grew for a series of NYC concerts & a New England tour (the source for this audio-verite concert recording). The band's combination of modern conduction techniques, blues & cosmos, super-churning rhythms, & uproarious expressionism will loosen the death root in your head. With Roy Campbell Jr & Flip Barnes (trumpets); Steve Swell & Tyrone Hill (trombones); Moondoc, Zane Massey & Michael Marcus (saxophones); Bern Nix (guitar); John Voigt (bass); Codaryl Moffett (drums)."
