Arthur Doyle - Alabama Feeling (1978)

I think most people don't realise that jazz can be this far out. Avant-garde jazz, as we know it from Coltrane and Miles Davis is nothing compared to stuff like this. This is where it get's called Free Jazz. This album is the only album Arthur Doyle released before the 1993 More Alabama Feeling came out. He hooked up with no-wave guitarist Rudolph Grey for this one and recorded a lovely, furious, lo-fi free jazz album.

In the vein of Machine Gun (my first introduction to real free jazz from another planet), this is not meant as an introduction in jazz or anything. This is hardcore stuff and if you want to get used to the genre in a gentle way: don't dare to download this.
