What do you get when you take Quadropus-era Estradasphere, the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, part of Netwerk:Electric and several talented friends, squish them all together and force them to jam? It's EFX: The Estrada-Fred eXperience!

This is largely improvised, and tends to "go deep" at times. It features many of our favorite musicians here at GrooveTV, and deserves to be shared. Enjoy this little Santa Cruz freakout!
