Before the Internest, I usually kept my little crackpot theories to myself, and the world was probably a better place for it.. . But now we are all subject to whatever stupid thoughts run through everyone else's mind, and that can't be a good thing... Anyway, I was talking to a sax player I know a while ago, and I told him I didn't like Trane's "OM' LP. He said they all took acid before they recorded it, and when Trane listened to it, he didn't like it, and didn't want them to release it, but they released it anyway. Then I heard Larry Young's jam with Jimi Hendrix, and I thought,"Hmm...that's definitely not typical LY,.." So I did a little research (IOW, I did a google search), and I found out that LY was trippin' himself around then... Then I was listening to a Roland Kirk CD, and noticed he started doing some odd music in the mid to late 60s, like "Jammin' With Wolves", and other things like that, and then I read his bio, and sure enow, Rahsaan be trippin' his brain out , too. i don't think I need to point out the pattern that seemed to be emerging, so what say you? Can the term 'acid jazz' be used another way?
