I was just listening to Pleasant Dreams and I realized the track 7-11 has been renamed Jul 11 presumably in honor of Tommy who died on that date. I didn’t find any mention of it online so I thought I would point it out here.

Cecil Taylor trio featuring Albert Ayler - Four by waternogetenemy https://soundcloud.com/waternogetenemy/four on #SoundCloud
I’ve been on an information hunt about Ayler’s life today because there’s so much contradictory information online. I found an interview with Ayler on youtube and this information is straight from his mouth. Ayler was 22 when he joined the army. From Ayler’s description he had a great deal of freedom while in the army. He was stationed in France and practiced tenor sax several hours a day. The way he describes working on his scales reminds me a lot of what I know about Coltrane’s approach. While he was in the Army he actually developed a fan base in Sweden. After he was discharged he lived for a short while in Los Angeles then briefly returned to his hometown of Cleveland before deciding to return to Sweden and try to build on what he had established there. From there he was hired by a radio station in Denmark to record an album. That album is My Name Is Albert Ayler. While he was there he met and performed with Gary Peacock and Cecil Taylor. Ayler describes Peacock as the best bass player he ever met and Peacock told Ayler that one reason he went on long fasts was to attain the kind of purity that Ayler already had. Ayler states that one thing he didn’t like about Taylor was that he was “too hard”. I’ve written before on here about the brutality of Cecil Taylor as a musician and I think that’s what he was referring to. Anyway, Ayler also calls Taylor great and describes following him back to NYC. Ayler gigged with Taylor and Eric Dolphy and John Coltrane used to come see them live. One night after Ayler was heckled Dolphy defended him by calling him the best in the world. Ayler describes Coltrane as a person who never got angry at anyone. Before Coltrane died he requested that Ayler play at his funeral and of course Ayler oblidged.

Great history, one of your best entries tbh. ****, I could see a whole film being shot on the Ayler performance you described that could be really compelling even for someone who doesn't like jazz if it didn't fall into your typical biopic shortfalls.

Today I’m going to discuss two pioneering California punk bands debut releases that were that were also the first and second releases on SST records.
![]() Nervous Breakdown by Black Flag 5 tracks that run a total of 5:13. *Arguably the first ever hardcore punk release. *Greg Ginn’s guitar playing is straight ahead Johnny Ramone style down strokes and not the exploratory and ultimately Ornette influenced style it would become *Keith Morris sounds a lot like Johnny Rotten *Raymond Pettibon’s album cover art shows a scene from a dysfunctional classroom ![]() Paranoid Time by the Minutemen. 7 tracks run 6:39. *Very in your face short and direct punk rock songs. *Pushed a different syncopation. *Strong leftist political content. *Closer to the Sex Pistols than the Ramones imo. *Raymond Pettibon’s cover art shows Reagan coping a cheap feel on a movie set.

![]() The Significance of Charles Wuorinen Not Being Given Tenure at Columbia University In 1971, Wuorinen, the youngest composer and the first to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for an electronic piece just a year earlier for Time's Encomium was denied tenure at Columbia. Time's Encomium was originally commissioned by Nonesuch Records but it was later remastered (very likely unnecessarily) and rereleased by John Zorn’s Tzadik Records: Here’s another couple of examples of Wuorinen‘s music: This piece, Heart Shadow, is extremely reminescent of Elliott Carter (FF3) https://www.musicbanter.com/1891604-post202.html And this pleasant curiousity composed more recently This was an excerpt from Wuorinen‘s response to Columbia published in the NY Times: Quote:
The following response was also printed in the NY Times: Quote:
Anyway, I have the text to the full Times articles that I’ll put under spoilers for those interested. Spoiler for Wuorinen‘s Pissed:
Columbia’s response is in the next post since I ran out of text.

Grabbed her discography immediately after watching an interview on YT and reading that she collaborated with Suzanne Ciani on Sunergy and I'm digging it. Hopped over to MB and searched her name to see what's been said, and the first result is OH directly mentioning that I'd probably dig it. Better late than never. ![]()
