In the mid-'70s the jazz press seemed to discover the "loft scene" occuring in New York. Basically some of the avant-garde jazz musicians who were having trouble securing work took matters into their own hands and opened their own little clubs. Casablanca on five LPs documented a song or two apiece from many of the musicians and, taken as a whole, this series (which has yet to appear on CD) gives one a good idea as to the strength and diversity of the scene of the period. On the first album, the fiery tenor Kalaparusha McIntyre, Sam Rivers (on soprano) and altoist Henry Threadgill (with AIR) are showcased in trios, veteran altoist Ken McIntyre leads a quartet and drummer Sunny Murray heads a quintet on "Over the Rainbow" that features David Murray on tenor and altoist Byard Lancaster. Very interesting music. AllMusic.Com
The loft jazz scene was a cultural phenomenon that occurred in New York City during the mid-1970s, at venues such as Environ, Ali's Alley, and Studio Rivbea, all in former industrial loft spaces in NYC's SOHO district. Hence, "Loft Jazz".
The scene was documented by Peter Occhiogrosso, Gary Giddins, the late Robert Palmer (author/producer), and Stanley Crouch.
Many of the musicians featured were from Chicago and particularly the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and St. Louis' Black Artists Group (BAG). These included notables such as: The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland, Rashied Ali, Charles Tyler, Perry Robinson, John Fischer, Jeanne Lee, Oliver Lake, Joseph Bowie, Keshavan Maslak, Hamiett Bluiett, Chico Freeman, Olu Dara, George Lewis, Air, the Revolutionary Ensemble, and Anthony Davis. Others came from Southern California, such as Arthur Blythe and David Murray, and from Texas, like Sam Rivers. Wikipedia
