The Artist/Album: Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Live In New York (Honest Jon’s, 2010)

The Reason(s) We Can’t Stop Listening: While New York audiences need to learn how to shut their beer traps during shows like this—enough of the “yeah!”‘s, broham—there’s no denying how special the set is. After all, where else can you hear a true Berlin techno legend lead Carl Craig, Vladislav Delay, Francois K., and that other guy right past the limits of what electronic/experimental music’s supposed to sound like? Simply put, this is the kind of shit Miles Davis’ would be playing right about now…had he not been a self-destructive cokehead.
