"The whole point of AlasNoZxis is less about broader technical displays and more about direct service to the song. On these relatively short compositions these players manage to navigate odd time signatures and a diversity of feels and textures that lean heavily towards the kinetic. This is music that demands attention and is best played loud." -ALL ABOUT JAZZ In 2000, Jim Black recorded his debut AlasNoAxis. Since that time, he has consistently developed new grooves with the band AlasNoAxis, and toured the world extensively. At the end of last year, Jim Black and AlasNoAxis entered the wonderful Brooklyn Recording studio to record their new aural journey, Dogs of Great Indifference.
