Operation Northwoods


I've been avidly seeking different directions in jazz for two or three years now. I discovered PJCE Records .... Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble, dedicated to the music of Portland area artists. 'The Bureau of Fiction' by Operation Northwoods is the latest find. From 2013.

Recorded on February 4th of both 2011 and 2013. Chamber jazz sounds with bits of avant-garde.

A couple of the band members are also part of the group, The Ocular Concern, also recording for PJCE and also recently added to my collection.
