NOW JAZZ NOW 100 Essential Free Jazz & Improvisation Recordings 1960-80

[Rabshakeh]

Hard to see why they released this now. 

These kinds of lists were once essential. I spent hours over that Thurston Moore list back in the day, awkward jive slang aside. But that was a long time ago, and with the likes of RYM and Discogs that information is now available to anyone who is interested.

Discogs and RYM won't be around forever! Also, the verbiage is entertaining.
