by John Kelman
Well, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome continues to be a challenge, as it has been since mid-2014. 2019 represents, in fact, the worst year when it comes to the actual number of articles written.

Both Copland and Schlappi have carved out their spots as leaders of various sized ensembles, but the leaderless duo outing format seems to fit both instrumentalists well—Copland has teamed with bassist Gary ...
Albert Ayler: Quartets 1964: Spirits To Ghosts Revisited
by Mark Corroto
When did you first encounter saxophonist Albert Ayler's music? Not 'hear' because hearing was just part of the experience.
