The inimitable Destination Out has done it once again, uploading a freakin’ free jazz polka by Frank Wright. The likes of which you have probably never heard before. (It sounds to me a little bit like a mad deconstruction of “Columbia, Gem of the Ocean.”)

Industrial Jazz Group We have IJG t-Shirts. Other IJG merch you'd like to see? A line of IJG lederhosen, perhaps? Perhaps some IJG after-dinner mints? An official IJG lunchbox? (Do kids even have lunchboxes nowadays?)

Industrial Jazz Group In about sixteen weeks, we'll be on the east coast.

Thanks, Brian. Will keep you posted if Providence pans out.

Industrial Jazz Group Via Twitter: RT @artistshouse If you are one of those 'genreless'musicians/bands, consider the fact that labels are looking for talent that fits their genre. Uh-oh...

Ha! Yeah... thanks. Note how the tweet assumes that all bands want to be on labels...

Every Friday on this blog is “Makin’ it Happen Friday”, where I feature another musician who’s found a way to make a living playing music. I am constantly inspired by others, and hope to pass that inspiration on to you.

Industrial Jazz Group Hmmm. Is it misleading to call IJG a "big band"? Just because we have a lot of people in the group, most of whom play horns?

@Michele -- yeah, it was Jill's painting prowess that sent us down this road. I love the existing paintings and think something like them would work as a cover, but I'm not sure any of them fit this particular collection of songs. So I was casting about for other options.

Danke, all!

Industrial Jazz Group The new album is in our sights. (Wait, that's a weird metaphor. It's not like we want to shoot the new album, is it?) Revised: I think we can finish the new album this summer!

Hey Nancy... sorry for the late response, I didn't see this until now... Anyway, we wish we were coming to the Bay area too! It turned out to be too difficult to set up this time, but we'll definitely be back soon!
