Trombonist
Joseph Bowie
came out of St. Louis'
Black Artists Group
(aka
BAG
), co-founded by older brother
Lester Bowie
. In his teens, Joe played with bluesmen
Albert King
and
Little Milton
; in his 20s, he got his avant-jazz bona fides in order as well as a member of the
Human Arts Ensemble
with
Charles "Bobo" Shaw
, in duos with
Oliver Lake
, and as a sideman with
Frank Lowe
. He moved to New York City, joined the horn section of no wave legend
James Chance
's band
The Contortions
, and then in 1978 spun off his own group,
Defunkt
, simultaneously funkier and jazzier. A series of stellar Defunkt albums on the Hannibal label made them stars on NYC's underground scene. After many lineup changes, the classic '80s lineup got back together for a 21st-century comeback and is still going strong. Every member applies jazz chops, rock energy, avant-garde risk-taking, and punk disregard for rules to the task of pushing killer tracks into new territory. The band has had more than a few lineups, but a few years back it coalesced around a reunion of its most classic '80s configuration and hit the road.
Live at Channel Zero
captures a fierce 2015 club date in Slovenia and throws in a particularly hot passage salvaged from a 2007 German gig as a bonus. If you think this doesn't fit on the ESP-Disk' roster, presumably you've overlooked the funky party music of
Don Moore
(ESP 2016-2) and
Woodstock Workband
(ESP 2010-2) and/or you've never seen Defunkt rip it up in concert. Joseph Bowie, vocals, trombone;
John Mulkerin
, trumpet;
Bill Bickford
and
Ronny Drayton
, guitars;
Kim Clarke
, bass;
Kenny Martin
, drums.
