Drummer Barry Altschul, who turned 70 earlier this month (he celebrated at Roulette in Brooklyn), has made a lot of great music both outside and inside, with the likes of Dave Holland, Sam Rivers, Anthony Braxton, Chick Corea and Jon Irabegon. Altschul shared some of what he’s seen from both vantage points with Hank Shteamer, in Burning Ambulance.

Sam Rivers Trio - Amazing Music On A Consistently High Level
