Blowin' In the Wind: Pete Seeger, Grandfather Folkie and Author of "If I Had a Hammer," Dies at Age 94
Alabama Feeling: Arthur Doyle, Free Jazz Legend, Dead at 69
One of his earliest recordings, The Black Ark (1969), under alto saxophonist Noah Howard's leadership, ushered him onto the scene, yet subtly so. Though the time between his first and second recordings may not have garnered too much popular attention, his 1978 debut of Alabama Feeling is highly regarded and much sought after in terms of a physical copy.
