Peter Gordon is answering a lot of questions these days. His label, Thirsty Ear Records, is readying for the release of one of its most controversial records yet--and this is the same label that put out records by electronic innovators and hip hop heads DJ Spooky (Optomerty, 2002) and El-P (High Water, 2004) alongside the work of avant-gardists like Tim Berne (Souls Saved Hear, 2004) and William Parker (Luc's Lantern, 2005). Undoubtedly people are struggling to understand Thirsty Ear's latest move.
AAJ contributor James Taylor delves deep into the subject with Gordon, and the result is an intriguing look at one of the more intrepid labels operating in and around the broader jazz spectrum today.
