Smalltown Superjazzz
by A. Henkin
Free jazz, regardless of era or country, has always been a do-it-yourself operation. With very few exceptions, it has never enjoyed any real institutional support, whether from major record labels, jazz clubs or media outlets. Yet with the commitment of zealots, it has withstood disapprobation and forged an impressive international, multi-decade, history. One such ...
