Hello an welcome to "Hypochristmutreefuzz",
Hypochristmutreefuzz is a blog dedicated to the discussion and criticism of music and film.
Some of you may be wondering what exactly "Hypochristmutreefuzz" means. Its origins stem from a composition by Dutch free jazz musician Misha Mengelberg. It was featured on Eric Dolphy's "Last Date", a brilliant album recorded in 1964 that featured Dolphy playing among two revolutionary European jazz fingers. The emerging Misha Mengelberg and his partner in crime drummer Han Bennink. The composition itself is greatly influencfed by Thelonious Monk, with a slightly more avant-garde edge. Imagine a crossbreed between Monk and Cecil Taylor. Dolphy plays the bass clarinet, an instrument not widely used in jazz music then and now. His solo is full of zestful expressionism, improvising in style that has not been emulated since. Indeed it was a tragedy that Dolphy died only 27 days after the recording.

It's a very valuable source of information on who I consider to be the greatest jazz musician of them all.
