Trio AALY, nazwane na cześć utworu „Lebert Aaly… dedicated to Albert Ayler” Art. Ensemble of Chicago z ich albumu "Phase One" (America, 1971), to formacja z ponad 40-letnim stażem.
Nowe nagranie zarejestrowane w marcu 2024 roku w sztokholmskim Studio Ingrid ma w sobie ostry, narkotyczny posmak. Porażająca intensywność muzyki tego trio, siła, energia i swoboda, z jaką serwują nam porywające free jazzowe fajerwerki nie pozostawia nikogo obojętnym. Nie jest tajemnicą, że Mats Gustafsson doskonale orientuje się w różnych technikach improwizatorskich i kompozytorskich, prowadzi i uczestniczy w niezliczonej ilości pierwszoplanowych zespołów, jednak właśnie AALY TRIO jest tym, z którym gra najdłużej. Pewnie dlatego wychodzi im po prostu wszystko!

Ensemble of Chicago’s albums before hearing the Ayler and Nordström recordings, Phase One being the first he encountered. As Evan Parker put it, “My roots are in my record player.” Mats met up with guitarist Umeå, in.......
