Milford Graves is a drummer from New York who drums on a home-made drum kit and rarely performs outside of his neighbourhood. This 1965 album is highly controversial in jazz circles, because of its extremely experimental character. Jazz is often experimental, but usually with a lot of instruments. This album is just Milford Graves hitting his self-made drums.And he does it with style, because this is one of my favourite free jazz recordings, it sounds like nothing else you'll ever hear and it is highly original and very free. He did a magnificent album with Don Pullen which I will also post on this blog, but I chose this one, because I experienced it is very hard to find on the net. Must-hear.
And: for the people who downloaded the Bo Diddley record yesterday: the link is fixed now.
