aworks best of today's listening etc. :: ask the ages

Sonny Sharrock

The late Sonny Sharrock was a fine electric guitarist and Ask the Ages is a great improvisational album.

Wikipedia: 

One of few guitarists in the first wave of free jazz in the 1960s, Sharrock was known for his incisive, heavily chorded attack, his highly-amplified bursts of wild feedback, and for his use of saxophone-like lines played loudly on guitar.
