A vibrant snapshot of Vermont’s celebrated jazz-fusion underground, Lap Hen captures ViperHouse live and unfiltered during a pair of 1999 Brattleboro performances. The band stretches deep into funk, avant-jazz, and improvisational grooves while reimagining Ellington, Sun Ra, and Hamiet Bluiett alongside standout originals by Paczkowski and Chorney. This independently released album is a cornerstone piece for collectors of Vermont jazz history, regional fusion, and rare live recordings from one of the scene’s most inventive ensembles.
