Band Story
Aunt Jamamas Big Band Vigilantes: Avant-Garde Mayhem with Groove and Grit
Seattle’s own improv renegades, Aunt Jamamas Big Band Vigilantes, might wear the label avant-garde like a badge of honor, but don’t let that scare you off. Their wild, whip-smart blend of wit and melodic muscle keeps even the atonal-averse hanging on every note. This isn’t chaos for chaos' sake—there’s method in the madness.
Their sound spirals through the strange and sublime, balancing on the tightrope between jazz’s freedom and rock’s raw power. At times, their free-form jams feel startlingly structured—proof of serious chops behind the sonic swirl.
With a lineup that fuses acoustic ensemble firepower and mind-bending electronic samples and effects, they keep it unpredictable, yet undeniably compelling. This live recording captures it all—the energy, the edge, the electric weirdness that makes them unforgettable.
Bottom line? This album’s a trip worth taking. Another left-field gem from a band that refuses to play it safe—and from a scene that still knows how to surprise.
