Re: kripsens free jazz/ search

Much as I love Eivind Aarset, I wouldn't really consider his work free
at all.  There are improvisational elements but he's definitely
playing pre-composed material.  I wouldn't even say its that avant
garde either though that may just be me and my ideas of what
constitutes that label.

Otherwise, EA is truly fantastic and one of my favorite musicians of late.
