Rest in peace, Eddie Gale. This year has witnessed several of our musicians pass away, and Gale was surely an important voice in free and avant-garde jazz. On albums like Ghetto Music he somehow managed to fuse folk and choral musical elements with jazz and sound surprisingly modern and consistent. Without the hokey nature of some of Sun Ra's music, Gale demonstrated a gift for incorporating folk and other styles into jazz.
