Future Jaw-Claptells the story of a highly influential movement in New Zealand music: the self-made musicians of pioneering free jazz ensemble Primitive Art Group, who carved out their own radical musical language in the cold, hard reality of 1980s Wellington, and have gone on to richly diverse careers in music.From their beginnings as the punks of jazz in small clubs and the anti-nuclear and anti-apartheid protests of the early 1980s, through the heyday of the Braille Collective’s many colourful groups, self-released records and intersections with dance, theatre and visual arts, to the Six Volts providing music for the iconic albumSongs From the Front Lawn, and beyond, these musicians and the many others they have drawn into their orbit have done much to shape the music of Aotearoa.Based on a deep oral history project and extensive archival research, and vividly illustrated with photographs and other items,Future Jaw-Clapis a portal into an extraordinary musical world, and a celebration of a vibrant living tradition.
