Ed Askew + Koning's Blauw + Hurray

Ed Askew made his debut recording, Ask the Unicorn, on the famed ESP label in 1968. Like much of the label's output, it was little noticed in its time but has aged well—ditto for Askew himself, a longtime New Yorker whose beautiful ’80s cassette album Imperfiction has just gained a proper release from Drag City. He plays with Jay Pluck—whose own band, Koning's Blauw, gets things cooking.
