referencing School Bell / Treehouse, 12", SLX-023

Experimental jazz cellist Arthur Russell (who founded the Sleeping Bag label with Will Socolov) is at a disco peak here, with the help of radical disco prankster Walter Gibbons. Russell and Gibbons were making records like this without analog drum machines, but you'd never know listening to "Treehouse" or "School Bell". By the way, check the two re-issues of Russell's work on the Soul Jazz and Audika imprints.
