About
Jazz & Get Fat is an obscure experimental and noise project that emerged during the mid-1980s underground cassette culture. The project released a series of cassette-only recordings between 1987 and the early 1990s, establishing themselves within the lo-fi experimental and noise music underground. Their releases, including the 1987 titles "My Tragic Little Cat In The Great Dog's Mouth" and "Improbable Resolutions For The Phantom Of Cordelia," both issued on the independent Sound of Pig Music label, showcase an avant-garde aesthetic characteristic of the era's DIY industrial and experimental scene. The project also issued self-released material, maintaining complete creative autonomy throughout their catalog. Jazz & Get Fat operated within the broader context of 1980s and early 1990s tape-based underground music, contributing to the experimental and noise communities through limited-run cassette releases. Despite their obscurity, the project represents an important documentation of independent experimental music from this period, with their work reflecting the aesthetic and production philosophies of small-label underground music distribution.
