Borbetomagus

Borbetomagus are an American improvising group formed in New York, consisting chiefly of saxophonists Don Dietrich and Jim Sauter and guitarist Donald Miller, known for extreme noise and free-jazz improvisation.

Line-up commonly cited: Don Dietrich (saxophone), Jim Sauter (saxophone), Donald Miller (guitar). The album Barbed Wire Maggots is noted in reviews as recorded in 1982 and released the following year.

Two DeBaser reviews describe Borbetomagus as an extreme New York free-jazz/noise trio. One review praises the record as ecstatic avant-garde delirium; the other celebrates its aggressive, cannibalistic noise. Listeners should expect abrasive, extended improvisation and dense layers of sound.

For:Fans of free jazz, noise, extreme improvisation, and adventurous experimental music.
