Those with long enough memories to know the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's Jazz, Delicious Hot Disgusting Cold (a merciless satire on trad jazz) might wonder if Pigfoot's tuba dissonances, out-of-whack rhythms and Cecil Tayloresque free-piano assaults on classic songs spring from similar motives. But though trumpeter Chris Batchelor, tubist Oren Marshall, pianist Liam Noble and drummer Paul Clarvis clearly relish mischief, their love for these enduring old themes shows, even in their most violent distortions of them. Basin Street Blues joins New Orleans polyphony, Monkish piano and free-improv scuffles, Tennessee Waltz is an affecting trumpert/tuba dialogue and Nobody Knows You joins a quietly whooping high brass intro to a shivery, gothic tuba solo. Seeing Pigfoot live would probably be best, but the album is a very engaging experience.
