For example, Gayle and Tchii tear at each other throughout the r, 13-mute "Solid Clouds, " wh Reggie Nicholson's ee-rock dmmg eggg them on. Nicholson and bassist and former Cecil Taylor siman Sirone are superb throughout Always Born, and they get a chance to she on their duet, "Comg Together, " which Sirone plays twistg, high-register harmonics on his bass that sound a b like Gayle's squealg saxophone.

Always Born is more rtraed than much of Gayle's later work, but his teractn wh Tchii and the fe playg om Sirone and Nicholson are not to be missed. "Charl Gayle is rvg out a ee jazz that is mcular, impassned, clearly stctured, and wonrfully volatile.

It was agreed that Silkheart arrange to rerd Gayle wh a tr, and was also cid to rerd him as part of a quartet wh John Tchii alongsi. Sirone was chosen as the bassist for the Charl Gayle Tr and seemed also an appropriate choice for the quartet. It was cid that the Chigoan, Reggie Nicholson, now based New York, would perform wh the quartet while Gayle's regular dmmer, Dave Pleasant, would rerd wh the tr.

The qutn of rehearsals was brought up, but Charl Gayle was que adamant; there were to be none. Gayle don't plan what he's gog to play until he plays , although would as likely as not be high energy; It was this spir that he aimed to go to the stud and simply play his mic.

Charl Gayle is extremely forceful when he needs to be and there were ocsns durg the early part of the quartet rerdg ssn when this was necsary.

A few quotatns will bt give the ia of what Gayle was tryg to get across to the other members of the quartet.

As far as the quartet was ncerned there was an addnal vector to acunt for and John Tchii put his fger on when he said, "We only started to pull to shape when Gayle unrstood that the mic had to be played as a operative enavor by all four of .
