In a typically varied set, Def Jim splices gnarly nuggets from old stalwarts of the avant-garde with new releases from the likes of Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Julian Lage, virtuosic guitar in both electric blues and finger-picked trio/duo settings and sundry sparkling album tracks bursting out of relative obscurity before closing out with some classic John Coltrane.
