Cap'n Jazz Collection by Moritz Malibu Iv on Mixcloud

Call it 90’s indie, second wave emo , midwest emo, whatever you want, the history, and I, will keep for sure Cap’n Jazz has the pioneer of a genre. They are not really renowned. They only made a series of Eps during the early 90’s to finally split after the release of their unique album. But, by their creativity, their candidness and their energy, they influenced the last 20 years after.

I will not go on deeper about the band here, because a lot of people did it before me and wrote, in a better english, their story in other places of the internet... even if it’s difficult to find a lot information about them even today.

Anyway, if Cap’n Jazz is so unique for me is because of the other fucking great bands created from it ashes.

So I made a compilation of my favorite tracks of every band (excepted for Flashlight, I didn't find anything...)  , and I did this diagram to help you (and me also...) to understand the chronology better.

If you want to go deeper into the subject:

_ Listen Analphabetapology, a compilation of every materials Cap’n Jazz had recorded.

_ Read the ‘This Is My Document: The Oral History of Cap’n Jazz’ in the issue #263 of Alternative Press magazine, it is the only interview of the band you will find.

_ Go to http://www.joanfrc.com/members.html to know every information about the bands made by the musicien and available in this compilation. It's the most complete source of information.

If you want to listen some band in the same style:
