Musician

Avreeayl Ra

Born:

Chicago master drummer / percussionist AVREEAYL RA was born in Chicago on May 21st, 1947 and still lives there today. He is a renowned musician always in demand among visiting jazz artists in Chicago. Avreeayl’s father, Arthur "Swinglee" O’Neil, was a tenor saxophonist who was mentor to many young Chicago musicians, including John Gilmore, later the mainstay of Sun Ra’s Arkestra. (Avreeayl reports that John Gilmore had a crush on Avreeayl’s sister and so spent as much time as he could at the family house.) Swinglee O’Neil played in one of Sun Ra’s early Chicago bands, and Sun Ra played in one of Swinglee’s groups as well. Avreeayl is a long-term member of the Chicago AACM, his relationship with the seminal music organization having begun with early studies with AACM co-founder Kelan Philip Cohran

Dave Rempis, Joshua Abrams, Avreeayl Ra + Jim Baker: Perihelion

Read "Perihelion" reviewed by Enrico Bettinello


È un musicista generoso e attivissimo, il sassofonista Dave Rempis, che molti conoscono come fantastico “specchio" di Ken Vandermark nei Vandermark 5. Merito di un'attitudine fortemente e ostinatamente free, della capacità di utilizzare tre strumenti (il contralto, il tenore e il baritono) con grande equilibrio funzionale e, non ultimo, di lavorare con continuità con alcuni colleghi ...
