Rare articles on John Coltrane, Charles Gayle and Matt Shipp — by me — have just been posted online by The Wire, an always-worth-reading UK publication that covers jazz beyond jazz and some music beyond even that.

Great Trane piece.
I’d love to have heard the Solider Field gig…the tape must be incredible.
Peace-skis,

HM: Thanks for the compliment — the tape is incredible, largely for Archie Shepp’s extraordinary performance — headlong, focused and not *just* energy playing.
