Last Exit is renowned as one of the first “No-Wave” improvisational units to have emerged in the 1980s Downtown New York noise scene. An equitable blend of free jazz energy and can-do punk attitude, Last Exit was in their time the most fearsome of electric jazz ensembles and still a high water mark of the milieu. A mind-melting combination of talents, the group featured a who’s-who of potential sonic mayhem.
Producer and electric bassist Bill Laswell joined forces with former harmolodic drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson to form the backbone of perhaps one of the most acerbic front-lines conceived; free jazz maverick guitarist Sonny Sharrock and certifiable madman Peter Brötzmann on tenor sax made for a pair that was more often out of control than in. Never performers to utilize written compositions, all of the quartet’s performances were fully improvised.
Believe me: This is pure power, folks...

Great post R3000. Listeners who dig this should seek out Headfirst Into the Flames, another Last Exit live recording. Awesome stuff.
Note to the kiddies: Peter Brotzmann is more punk than any punk band will ever live to be.
