Friday Night Jazz: The Free Edition

Per Alex's request last week, we're going "free" tonight. It's late in the East, which means that it's a perfect time to get your avant-garde groove on.

A little triple-shot action:

First, the granddaddy of free jazz, Albert Ayler, from his Spiritual Unity album, "Spirits".

Followed by Chicago's own Vandermark 5, from their 1999 release Simpatico, "Fact and Fiction".

And lastly, a recent discovery for me, from his Sound Unity, William Parker's "Hawaii".
