A "free-jazz lover" says "no theme, no interesting solos ... nothing of interest"
and proceeded to remove any trace of Silva from his collection. WTF?
This is followed by a guy who stated that no interesting avant-garde jazz
was done at all during the entirety of the 60's in the US
("especially in Chicago") - ???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"not much masterpieces for this time" - Ha! - oh, sheesh...

Wow.
First off, let me clear my name by distancing myself from those comments. Very strange indeed that anyone with that opinion would have enough interest to comment. I'm just quoting little snippets not endorsing entire sites.
Spotify falls short on Silva. I'm going to break my own rule and link to this:

That Chicago comment immediately made me think ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO!!!! But pre-1970 I guess I need to back up to the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Perhaps, the Chicago comment comes from a musician who wanted to penetrate that scene but couldn't???
As for the Silva comment. Hell, he played on Unit Structures. If that guy is giving away his vinyl he can PM me. We can arrange a pick up!!!
