It’s unlikely that any one poet has been as immersed, and for so long, in the New York and European jazz and improvised music scenes, or has collaborated in some manner with as many of its extraordinary artists, as Dalachinsky. He has written liner notes for the recordings of Anthony Braxton, Charles Gayle, James “Blood” Ulmer, Rashied Ali, Roy Campbell, Matthew Shipp and Roscoe Mitchell, among others.
