The Microscopic Septet welcomes you.

In the wake of the success of 2006's reissue of early Micros recordings,
Seven Men in Neckties and Surrealistic Swing ,
and following a string of club dates in New York and Europe,
The Micros went directly into the studio to record
some of the never-before released favorites,
and obscure materpieces, from the voluminous Micro book.
Cuneiform Records is proud to announce the release of

Lobster Leaps In

Press Release

and will continue to make sporadic appearances
approximately once a year, until further notice
in the US & Europe.
