About
Voice of Chunk is the third studio album by jazz band the Lounge Lizard, released in 1988. The album was produced independently by bandleader John Lurie, following two releases with Island Record. After unsuccessfully shopping the album to several record label, Lurie decided to hire a company to print copies of Voice of Chunk and sell it himself through mail-order, promoted with advertisements on television. He reports the album sold about 30,000 copie, a substantial sum for an independent jazz album, but promotional and sales costs were higher than anticipated so the album was not financially profitable. Voice of Chunk was later re-released on frontman John Lurie's record label Strange and Beautiful Music. The song "Uncle Jerry" was a tribute to Lurie's paternal uncle. All tracks composed by John Lurie; except for; "Voice of Chunk" (John Lurie, Erik Sanko) "Uncle Jerry" (John Lurie, Erik Sanko) "A Paper Bag and the Sun" (John Lurie, Dougie Bowne, Marc Ribot) "Tarantella" (music: Evan Lurie; lyrics: The Lounge Lizards) "Travel" (Evan Lurie) Personnel: John Lurie – alto and soprano saxophone | Evan Lurie – piano | Marc Ribot – guitar, trumpet | Curtis Fowlkes – trombone | Roy Nathanson – alto and tenor saxophone | E.J. Rodriguez – percussion | Erik Sanko – bass | .
