this class has opened my ear...ive found some stuff like les mccann and after hearing michael brecker i immediately went a bought some stuff by him..
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember when that Portland Eye and Ear show is? Also, I'd like to point out that the name is a reference to an Albert Ayler record--New York Eye and Ear Control--one of the leading free jazz musicians of the sixties, and an amazing record....
ReplyDeleteI'd like to check out that show here, John Zorn is somehow involved, right?
