Bobby Few

Jazz pianist Bobby Few was raised in a neighborhood in the Shaker Heights section of Cleveland, Ohio, along with the influential free jazz player <a href="spotify:artist:2wn2nqzITvJ1vcMRO8Wzv6">Albert Ayler</a>. Growing up, they listened to <a href="spotify:artist:05E3NBxNMdnrPtxF9oraJm">Lester Young</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4Ww5mwS7BWYjoZTUIrMHfC">Charlie Parker</a> together. Both started gigging while still in high school, and went on to record together as they moved further into the musical exploration and passion of free jazz. Few performs on <a href="spotify:artist:2wn2nqzITvJ1vcMRO8Wzv6">Ayler</a>'s Music is the Healing Force of the Universe, and a few years later played with <a href="spotify:artist:7C2DSqaNkh0w77O5Jz1FKh">Archie Shepp</a>. He has also performed with bassist Alan Silva, drummer <a href="spotify:artist:1sEOsClatR9SKKmELXJVUJ">Sunny Murray</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1BEsuwAkTQMG50TeHB5qny">Steve Lacy</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0N0d2jVcE9atrwu0ITHU3u">Noah Howard</a>, among others. ~ Joslyn Layne, Rovi
