The AALY Trio

Swedish free of charge jazz group AALY Trio was shaped around Umeå natives Mats Gustafsson (reeds) and Kjell Nordeson (drums) within the mid-’80s, once they have been collaborating for a couple years. The initial documenting of AALY is normally one monitor, “Albumblatt,” which noted the group’s past due-’80s incarnation with bassist Niklas Billström and made an appearance for the compilation Seems: Modern Swedish Improvised Music. 1995 brought fresh bassist Peter Janson towards the group and, a yr later on, Chicago reedsman Ken Vandermark was up to speed as a long term visitor. The chemistry of the group explodes into passionate and thrilling albums filled up with such enthusiastic urgency the music group can cover Ayler’s “Spirits” (plus they perform, double), and it suits right along with the other materials. Their debut full-length, Hidden in the Abdomen, arrived on Silkheart in 1998. Another two albums, Stumble and Live in the Glenn Miller Cafe, had been released by Superchunk guitarist/vocalist Mac pc McCaughan’s little imprint Wobby Rail. Gustafsson released his personal label, Crazy Knowledge, which released the group’s 2000 documenting, I Wonder EASILY Was Screaming, a launch that unfortunately didn’t find wider launch or distribution.
