2.3
Sorry about that folks. When one is running 3 blogs and contributing to two others, from time to time the backlog will add up. Nevertheless, I have returned...reasonably well rested and moderately sane for this edition.
Probably not one of his most well liked albums, this record's opening four note runs opened up a new type of music for me many moons ago: avant-jazz. Unapologetically intense, furiously atonal and wonderfully chaotic, this album was the primer I so desperately needed to see beyond the traditional jazz WEMU (the local radio station I sought for jazz) and Ed Love were playing at the time. I wouldn't call it an epiphany, but this definitely was a moment of musical illumination and quite possibly the last time there was a major flood of musical exploration for me.
