Free Jazz Hour: Feb 9, 2009

Tonight’s set was pretty heavy and noisy, and I did get one call questioning whether Alan Licht’s All Blues could qualify as jazz… but let’s just say there was an emphasis on the free, especially toward the end of the hour.

2. Last Exit – Last Exit – Crackin (1986)
3. Alan Licht – Rabbi Sky – All Blues (For Phill Niblock and James McNew) (1999)
