Wall of Flowers is an album by Mike Baggetta featuring Mike Watt and Jim Keltner. [4] The album has been described as "post-genre-improv-jazz-rock". [4]
The album was largely improvised [5] even though the trio of musicians had never played with each other before recording in 2017. [5] A conversation with Chris Schlarb of Big Ego Studios led to a discussion about the David Torn album Cloud About Mercury which Baggetta admired. [6] Baggetta learned that the artists on the album had not worked together previously and were simply " cold-called" by Torn so he jokingly suggested Schlarb call Watt and Keltner to join him for an album. [6] Schlarb made some calls [6] and soon Baggetta was joined by Watt and Keltner to record his Wall of Flowers.
Following the release of the album, Baggetta and Watt embarked on a ten-date March tour with Stephen Hodges substituting for Keltner. [4] The tour resulted in the formation of mssv, a live album ( Live Flowers) and a studio album scheduled for 2020 release.[ citation needed]
