Danny's Staff Pick: March 18, 2026

What is up fellow Sorry Staters! It has been a busy one at the warehouse getting all of your preorders out the door. I hope everyone is enjoying their week and some new music! This is going to be a short one for me today, as it has been a busy week, not just at Sorry State but at home as well. I have been mostly listening to a lot of free jazz this week. Most people don’t listen to free jazz to calm down and relax, but if I can get into a mental groove with the sometimes repetitive nature of the genre, I can just zone out and take my mind someone else. One player who has really caught my attention recently is Albert Ayler and his album with Don Cherry, Vibrations. Constructive, wild and groove is just there for me in this record. The sax is loud and in the forefront, which is what I love in a free jazz record. The squeals and squeaks just keep pushing, making this record one of my favorites from Albert Ayler. If you ever see any of his stuff in the wild, pick it up! Side note, more and more used stuff is getting listed on the site. I know some folks were really going in on the CDs when we were first listing them, but Daniel and I have picked it back up and have been listing a bunch more, so be sure it check them out! Until next week!
