One that also might not have made it on your radar

I think every year, we’ll be able to pick it apart but he’s still doing a good job.

For both of us Ayler -I think it’s the same for you- he continues to run through the core of so much great music. His sound was meant to echo and it keeps reverberating. It’s going to continue haunting our musical consciousness long after we’re dead and gone. I get that Ayler is harder than Dolphy but he included Out to Lunch. So that invites the discussion. Don’t play with fire if you don’t wanna get burned. If free jazz is in play there’s no excusing the absence of Spiritual Unity.
