Two previously unreleased recordings are featured in this episode, and both are from two of the giants of jazz: the free spirit of free jazz Albert Ayler and the indefatigable Charles Mingus. Both albums are from the 70s – Ayler in France (in his last recorded performance) and Mingus’ Lost Album From Ronnie Scott’s in London in 1972. Present day ensemble, Sonic Liberation Front, presents compositions for vocals by Oliver Lake, while the New York trio, Secret People, takes paint off of walls with their high intensity music. I think you’ll like the music of two other trios as well: Jones Jones (Larry Ochs, Mark Dresser & Vladimir Tarasov) and Israeli saxophonist Jonathan Reisen with what I think is the debut album of the year so far.
