about

“This place makes the Knitting Factory look like Carnegie Hall” – Mark Dresser

The gigs that started it all… alt.coffee was the laboratory where John Hollenbeck, Matt Moran, Reuben Radding, Ted Reichman and many others developed a new style of New York creative music.

This CD features a rare early track by the Claudia Quintet and the only commercially available recordings of Ted and John’s pre-Claudia band, Refuseniks, plus stunning improvisations by some of New York’s greatest musicians.
