Hash Jar Tempo represents a joint venture between the Philadelphia-based psychedelic ensemble Bardo Pond and the experimental guitarist and composer Roy Montgomery. Established in March 1995, the collaboration produced two albums, Well Oiled and Under Glass, without engaging in live performances.
History
Montgomery initially connected with members of Bardo Pond who were acquainted with his work on the Dadamah project in 1995. On March 26 of that year, they recorded an entirely improvised session, which was later issued as Well Oiled under the moniker Hash Jar Tempo—a name playfully referencing Ash Ra Tempel. After Montgomery’s return to the United States, the group reconvened for a second improvisational recording on April 27, 1998, this time including Isobel Sollenberger. This session was subsequently released in 1999 as Under Glass.
