Bill Laswell, prolific bassist and promoter of musicians from Bootsy (he got him to quit crack) to discovery of Whitney Houston and Buckethead as well as a founding member of Material, Praxis and Massacre among volumes of other projects has been sick and needs donations to keep his studio going.
this is where i first heard laswell.
the album turned me on to drummer ronald shannon jackson, guitarist sonny sharrock, many others.
saw him play with both - and the recently passed sax titan peter brotzmann - as LAST EXIT, possibly the heaviest band to emerge from the jazz universe.
