Synopsis

Album Description

This Belgian band was founded by clarinetist, saxophonist, composer/arranger Peter Vermeersch. They are one of the most original bands on the jazz and avant-garde music scene. They play music that is rooted in big band, but also draw from swing, mambo, Latic, chanson, cabaret, R&B and freestyle. This is a 19-track compilation showcasing songs from previous albums (import-only) and some unreleased material chosen by Mike Patton.

CD Reviews

Good, but not XLS good

Robert L. Eichler Jr. | Hummelstown, PA United States | 02/03/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I bought Isms because of the X-Legged Sally connection.

XLS is one of my all-time favorite bands, so when I found

out about Flat Earth Society, I had to hear it. The Isms

CD is good, very good in places, but it's not quite up to

XLS standards. The similarities are there, but it's just

not the quite the same insanely energetic, precise, bizzare,

Zappa-influenced big band jazz. But if you've heard X-Legged

Sally and liked them, then Isms is worth the purchase. You

should enjoy it - just don't get your hopes up to high."
