Keshavan Maslak – Loved By Millions LP cover

Loved by Millions Review by Thom Jurek

"Recorded way back in 1980, before the trickster saxophonist Keshavan Maslak took on the moniker Kenny Millions and went completely crazy as a free jazz blower, he was a relatively sane jazz musician with a penchant for all things Beat -- as in Generation. On this date with avant drum god Sunny Murray and New York bassist John Lindberg,..This is a gorgeous record, made when no one was paying attention to what Leo Fegin was attempting to do (do they now?) by bringing modern creative jazz into the public eye. Few people have heard this record, but if they had, they'd want to own it. All it would take is a listen to the penultimate track, a sensitive, bleating love ballad played on bass clarinet called "When You Look at Me, I Want to Vomit." 'Nuff said."

Air is an album by Cecil Taylor recorded for the Candid label in October 1960. The album features performances by Taylor with Archie Shepp, Buell Neidlinger, Denis Charles and Sunny Murray.

A review at AllMusic states: "Avant-garde icon Cecil Taylor has a superfluity of gems in his catalogue, but his recordings from the early 1960s have a special significance in that they represent the pianist's transition from a traditional post-bop approach to his more abstract stylings. Lyrical, bluesy, and driven by bold improvisation, 1960's Air is an excellent example of Taylor's early work. Along with saxophonist Archie Shepp (who sits in on two numbers) and a sharp, tight-knit rhythm section, Taylor can be heard stretching the jazz canvas of the era, forming the radical vocabulary he would master on landmark albums like 1966's Unit Structures.."
