Another Parachute Classic , with a unique sound world all of its own, i've always loved this one ..which in a lot of quarters gets a pretty bum rap... including one by Kaiser Himself !

  8. Henry is still quite the active player. Heard him scorch the room this year in Josh Allen's nearly 20-piece Deconstruction Orchestra & the 2 of them have a quartet gig in Berkeley, joined by Bill Winant & an interesting drummer who studied w/ Blackewell, Timothy Orr. & don't forget Henry's Songs of Ayler release a few years back.

    John Gruntfest was for years a major figure on the bay area's free jazz/improv scene - one hell of player too. Largely retired now, he made a very special appearance at Berkeley Arts back in January w/ another rarely heard bay area legend, pianist Gregg Goodman, whose Beak Doctor recordings some of the Evan Parker freaks here must know.
