Spent so much time with Ali, Interstellar Space among them.
Most definitely recommend his duo with Leroy Jenkins, Swift Are The Winds Of Life, and the quintet date on Ali's own label, with the unsung Earl Cross on trumpet.
Amazing musician, essential to the direction Coltrane took his music at the end of his life..

sad news.

That's very sad. He was one of the first free jazz drummers I got to know and who deeply impressed me, influenced me a lot.

[Captain Hate]

Songlines w/Brotz & Fred Hopkins. The first time I heard it I couldn't believe how gorgeously the drums were recorded.

sad news....

Interstellar space is one of the albums that touched me most of all

[Bill Barton]

A Master, an Elder, no question. R.I.P.

Thanks for the rec of that one with Leroy Jenkins, Jesse, I'll have to search it out...

Interstellar Space is indeed a landmark recording but there's been so much more marvelous music since then.

The trio with Hal Galper and Reggie Workman on the CD Art-Work BURNS.

rudolph grey - mask of light. ali is on all tracks.

rashied ali played here at the theater i work at at least once, maybe twice? it's definitely sad to think i saw him up on that stage playing, not that long ago.

[sound.out.light]

I saw him play last year at a local outdoor jazz festival. I didn't learn of his death until yesterday. I'm glad I got to see him play once. Rest easy, Rashied.

A very sad loss in a long summer of sad losses.
