Read "Albert Ayler 1965: Spirits Rejoice & Bells Revisited" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Being that 2020 is more than half a century since Albert Ayler (1936-70) recorded this music, the best way to approach might be through what the Zen Buddhists call Shoshin.

Charles Tyler: Eastern Man Alone

Read "Eastern Man Alone" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Charles Tyler fa parte di quella schiera di musicisti che hanno partecipato alla rivoluzione della New Thing senza assurgere alla statura di eroi o leggendari protagonisti, ma lavorando piuttosto nell'ombra o a fianco di stelle di prima grandezza.
