I semi-forgot about the JazzView CDs - I got the Aylers, which were not-exactly-NoNoised from the Shandar LPs, and they scream for a good reissue. For those unfamiliar, they're very late Ayler recordings, but fortunately they mostly stay away from the late-period vocal material and instead are mostly gentle, lyrical performances of chestnuts like "Ghosts." AND Call Cobbs is on piano instead of harpsichord, thank Gawd.
Gentle, lyrical Ayler? This I gotta hear. I love his tunes, but don't find myself listening to his CDs much, since I don't have much taste for sax freakage. (Not a value judgment, I hasten to add, just a personal taste; I like enough other noisy stuff that a friend in college accused me of having "the world's largest collection of records that sound like vacuum cleaner malfunctions.") -- | jzitt@metatronpress.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt/ http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
