LOL

Yes it is. That one and "Got My Mojo Workin' " are two of my earliest musical memories. My mom worked on Saturdays so my dad spent the day playing his blues, jazz and Beatles albums. I used my longest Lincoln Logs as drumsticks and would bang about the coffee table.

The Pyramids
Lalibela

Wild spiritual and afro jazz. On the cusp of being free but in a more tribal way. Crazy rhythm section.

This is my listening plan for the rest of the day.

The Pyramids came together in the 1970s at Antioch College, Ohio, as part of Cecil Taylor’s Black Music Ensemble.

This book that I recently finished had a bunch of information about this but I don’t remember this band and I tried to make note of any names dropped that I didn’t know. Probably in there but I forgot.

This Is Our Music: Free Jazz, the Sixties, and American Culture by Iain Anderson

This a fantastic read for people with a solid background knowledge on free jazz. It is VERY dense with information. It’s not juicy fun stuff about the artists though; it’s facts about the music and its recognized place in American culture. Some of the stats concerning the lack of appreciation are depressing but on the other hand, the permanence of the free jazz masters is a rectification.

Published in 2007 I hope the author has been paying attention to what has happened musically since then.

That just an e-book or can I grab a physical copy?
