To begin this Odyssey, something suitably dramatic is needed. Having racked my brain for a worthy way to begin this Journal, I came to the decision I'd go for a slice of Sunny Murray.
For those unfamiliar with him, Murray is a highly influential free Jazz drummer, and his flowing and ever-changing style, emphasising tempo changes and texture over traditional time-keeping, makes for some really novel and exciting compositions. This is one of my favourites, although he has plenty of great pieces.
Invisible Blues has a particular energy and explosiveness that is very appealing to me. I'd recommend that any fans of experimental Jazz seek him out.
That begins the journal, stayed tune for the second pick!
