Bill Laswell’s experimental dub series concludes with Book of Exit, a recording that seamlessly blends dub with Eastern music. Produced and arranged by Laswell, Dub Chamber 4 features vocals by Ejigayehu “GiGi” Shibabaw, drums and tabla by Karsh Kale, and percussion by Aiyb Dieng.
Laswell , who also acts as producer/arranger, provides bass, guitar, and keyboards. Like the other Dub Chamber recordings in Laswell’s Sacred System series-indeed, like virtually all of Laswell’s work-Book of Exit is a marriage of musical styles and cultures.

Jazzonia is a combined creation of the legendary producer Alan Douglas and the protean and avant-gardist Bill Laswell. Here is what Douglas says about it : “Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure, Annie Ross, Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks were the creators of a new genre, vocal music. They used to adapt their lyrics to freestyle solos. It evolves without a precise structure, and it’s full of surprises.
Bill and I have decided to keep the original lyrics, while giving the instrumental part a facelift. Our thought was to make the young musicians heard, the ones who come from the street, on today’s beat. A few of these talents got together on Jazzonia.”
