Jerry Garcia once tried to explain the Grateful Dead's appeal by comparing them to licorice. He pointed out that not everybody likes licorice, but the people who do “really like licorice." The same principle could easily apply to free jazz. There's a unique appeal to free improvisation that some listeners embrace, while others might quickly turn the dial. There's rarely any middle ground when it comes to free jazz, but Bob Gorry's GoBruCcio gives fans a reason to celebrate.
