Led Bib have that typical British jazz sound I love so much. They remind me in places of Soft Machine and Elton Dean.
A lot of the Jazz I listen to is of the Brit variety, much of it is from the F-ire collective.
There are only two bands I know from there, although I was intrigued by Ingrid Laubrock, as she is a female, but she turned out to just be a lame Evan Parker devotee. I'm sorry, but jazz is just another one of the things that America is the best at, although there is some good music on the EFI scene.

I agree with that bit, but it was the so called Nu Jazz (terrible term) scene that got me into exploring jazz in general.

Does SR want me to start the new thread?
Fair enough, but I don't even know most of the people on the Nu Jazz Wiki page (and the ones I do I don't know for playing Nu Jazz). I remember liking Spring Heel Jack's live album, but it has Evan Parker, William Parker, and Han Bennick, so it's hardly fair to compare it to Jaga Jazzist or Squarepusher or whatever. I never got into Matthew Shipp, though.
