Jazz Bunker is a live double album by Han Bennink, Eugene Chadbourne, and Toshinori Kondo.
[1][2][3][4] In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy called Jazz Bunker "an absolutely fascinating exposition of free jazz," and wrote: "the three musicians fly high, with more than a dozen different instruments represented... the whole conglomeration is outrageously wild.
"[1] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described the album as "a meeting of three masters of cracked extravagance," and commented: "it is much more traditional in flavour than most European improvised music... for much of the way it hardly feels avant-garde at all... as a constantly surprising, intense and funny piece of documentation, it ranks highly in this area.
Perhaps this recording should be reserved for the proper – emotional – occasion, or at a time when life's trivialities become overly persistent.
"[5] Coda's Stuart Broomer remarked: "these 2 CDs of non-stop 1980 improv often surprise... the result here is explosive energy music, with Kondo often keeping things moving in direct lines.
