Got put onto Eddie Gale a couple weeks ago by Mr Dangerspiel (shot cuzzy), so have had this album "Black Rhythm Happening" as well as the extraordinairy "Ghetto Music" on frequent rotation. I vaguely remembered Gales name through his recordings with Sun Ra & his Arkestra, but he has also contributed to other seminal releases such as Cecil Taylors "Unit Structures" and Larry Young's "Of Love And Piece". Gales playing is a good example of taking the "older" jazz styles and combining with the "newer/freer/spiritual" as well as other "non-jazz" influences. Regardless of all the different influences that can be heard, this is straight up SOUL music.
(thought I'd include the "Ghetto Music" cover as well, which is Gales wacky parody of the KKK)
