The mid-'70s "loft scene" (in which avant-garde jazz musicians opened up their own little clubs in New York City) was expertly documented by Casablanca on five LPs which are well deserving of being reissued on CD eventually. On the third volume pianists Randy Weston and Dave Burrell are heard with trios, drummer Andrew Cyrille (with the tenor of David Ware and trumpeter Ted Daniel) and guitarist Michael Gregory Jackson head quartets and trumpeter Ahmed Abdullah leads an exciting sextet with saxophonist Charles Brackeen. Stimulating music. AllMusic.Com

The loft jazz scene was a cultural phenomenon that occurred in New York City during the mid-1970s, at venues such as Environ, Ali's Alley, and Studio Rivbea, all in former industrial loft spaces in NYC's SOHO district. Hence, "Loft Jazz".
The scene was documented by Peter Occhiogrosso, Gary Giddins, the late Robert Palmer (author/producer), and Stanley Crouch.
Many of the musicians featured were from Chicago and particularly the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and St. Louis' Black Artists Group (BAG). These included notables such as: The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland, Rashied Ali, Charles Tyler, Perry Robinson, John Fischer, Jeanne Lee, Oliver Lake, Joseph Bowie, Keshavan Maslak, Hamiett Bluiett, Chico Freeman, Olu Dara, George Lewis, Air, the Revolutionary Ensemble, and Anthony Davis. Others came from Southern California, such as Arthur Blythe and David Murray, and from Texas, like Sam Rivers. Wikipedia
