★★★★
“Since 2003, [JL&BVC] have been crashing and slashing through the jazz-rock idiom, often lying on the perimeter of the avant-garde spectrum. …the music is often hard-edged and chockfull of off-kilter innuendoes and ballsy soloing excursions. …Lundbom’s intense phrasings and mind-altering solo spots can exude a semblance of systematic paranoia or command the ensemble like a diesel-powered automaton, wielding a mass of destruction through a heavily populated metropolis.”
Haggards in the NY Times
Haggards in the NY Times! Haggards in the NY Times!!!
Kickstarter Time
There’s a Kickstarter up and running for a new theater piece I’m doing with Julia May Jonas and Nellie Tinder, swing on by to check it out and give a bit if you can!

★★★★ 1/2
“Lundbom dissects and reassembles jazz-rock fusion, grafting on bits of post-Albert Ayler free jazz and hard bop as he sees fit. …’Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!’ represents a major step forward for JL&BVC. This is a band that, like MOPDTK, constantly takes musical risks and consistently comes up with inspired and spirited, all-original, poly-stylistic 21st Century jazz.”
