Just to change the subject a bit I LOVE that guy's music.

As for my suggestions, I have them both on vinyl and don't know how to rip them to MP3's.

Good to hear! :D His sax tone is too original for me to pass up, even more abrasive than Ayler's. People I know who absolutely despise his ideology still love his tone.

Ah, I thought you meant you had them on MP3 already. There is some sort of from-vinyl-to-mp3 device that you used to be able to buy; also, I've seen cords that can link directly from yr record player to the computer which allows for you to play a track and transcribe into mp3. There's also this:



Though if that's the case with you, I wouldn't feel obliged to go through that process in any way. If you can find it on the internet or something, then that'd be good, but that seems like an awful lot of work personally. Unless somebody else knows of a far easier way to go about it.

Was he some kind of extremist or something?

I meant musical ideology, as in the whole structure of his performances. The idea of somebody doing saxophone improvisations doesn't register for them as art, as they feel improvisation =/= music. Which, you know, makes no sense as jazz is based on improvisation. So what if he kicks it up a notch?

Wait... I thought his music was all improvisation?

It generally is from what I've read... Did I imply differently somehow? :D

You just worded your statement strangely. I must have misunderstood.

Very cool music club; looking forward to checking out the current (and future) albums!

I'd like to nominate one, actually:

Mike Gordon - Inside In
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg
This is an especially interesting album, and I would definitely love to recommend it. This album acts as sort of a "soundtrack" to Gordon's equally avant-garde film, "Outside Out". The artists who contribute to this album are too extensive and varied to list, so I recommend checking 'em out on the Wikipedia page here. There's a taste of a little bit of everything on here; bluegrass, folk, funk, pure psychedelia...it's just an overwhelmingly interesting album. Definitely worth a listen...and then a repeat listen.

I like how Wikipedia only put "music" as its genre.

Sweet, Bela Fleck, too! Right on.
