This exclusive Jackie-O-Motherfucker podcast combines excerpts from a live performance in Charlottesville, Virginia on March 18th 2006 and a track the band created in our Monkeyclaus Studio on March 19th 2006. Admiring their experimentalism, Monkeyclaus invited Jackie-O into the studio for Monkey Session #4. The Monkey Sessions are an ongoing series of John Peel inspired studio sessions. It was engineered by Abel Okugawa and Peter Agelasto. JOMF manifested spacious and liberated sounds. The live recording was made by Todd Pattison at Dust Space in Charlottesville. The live set was intensely witchy and esoteric. Monkeyclaus is proud to present this unique document. Enjoy!

Initial ideas for the group
began with Tom Greenwood in New York City around 1992. In 1993, Tom moved to
Portland with a case of reel-to-reel tapes, that served as the catalyst for
JOMF. After many years and a rotating cast of musicians from both the US and
Canada, with the group sometimes numbering as deep as 12 or more performers,
JOMF currently is one of the very best improvisational bands of today. The
album "Flags Of The Sacred Harp", their most recent release, despite featuring
the previous line-up as opposed to the current line-up, is highly critically
acclaimed.

Vocalist Eva Saelens also performs as a solo artist under the name
of Inca Ore. Eva Saelens is brilliant. Her presence with JOMF is incredible. Inca Ore is unbelievable. 5RC is slated to release an Inca Ore record later this year. JOMF, like say The Magik Markers, is really attaining greatness with improvisation, something that many improvisational groups currently feel they are approaching or touching, but in reality, are hardly achieving. JOMF once described themselves as: "JOMF are indisputably self-aware and muse at length upon their process and goals, but in the end, instinct overrules calculation. The yield is a rich, multivalent music that reflects and refracts the larger world."

Monkeyclaus was fortunate enough to get an exclusive recording of their most recent live appearance at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar in Charlottesville, Virginia. The show also featured Micah Blue Smalldone who was unfortunately not captured on tape, as our recording Monkey rushed in from out of town for the show and missed Micah's set. Find him on your own as he is a powerhouse, transmitting beauty thru his voice and his amazing picking and strumming. Cerberus Shoal also granted us a sassy interview which may have you questioning the interior lattice of reason...hmm...ENJOY
