This one is less cacophonous or leaning to the less cacophonous end of the spectrum compared to the releases so far documented in this thread. This is serious, very proficient, soulful and beautiful jazz. And free. Free jazz. Probably the most beautiful two words ever put together.
I’m tempted to get into how can there be so much stellar free jazz happening a half century after the fact.
I’m not even begging for props but when I started this thread I had no idea how rewarding it was going to be. The releases of the last six months in this genre, the quantity AND quality is stunning. I’m shocked by it. OK I’m going to stop here because I really need to get it right when I explore how we got to this wonderful, if woefully unrecognized, era in jazz.
