A Look Back In Anguish - Punk Jazz Opus One
"SEE YOU IN THE DITCH!" As I'm sure I've said before, the songs on Le Bonx were titled after the fact, with Arlene, Ned, Norman and I taking turns coming up with the names. This is one of Arlene's titles. The song itself, like all of the others on the original cassette release, is from the first session - the "Wurlitzer" session. The next session - recorded at our studio in The Family Compound with a Fender Rhodes replacing the Wurlitzer - were not as successful and weren't used although they finally appeared as bonus tracks on the CD remaster in 2003 (there were two more Le Bonx -type sessions but but more about them later). It's a 3 minute blast of punk jazz - one of my favorite tracks. We came out swinging and didn't let up. Arlene really lets loose and plays with uncharacteristic abandon and fervor while Ned manages to move things along rather than throw his usual percussive body block
