(Throw them into the lunch bucket, too.) And, except for the lurching closer “Locomotive," the ...

Art Strike!
by Mark Corroto

by John Sharpe
Remember free-bop? While there's no hard and fast definition, the term was used to encompass jazz boasting a written head, often at rapid bebop tempo, which subsequently opened up harmonically and rhythmically, but without straying completely off the map.
