Vinny Golia Profiled

From LA Weekly:

When free jazz, multi-instrumentalist Vinny Golia first set foot in Los Angeles in the early 1970s he wasn’t expecting to stay. But circumstances dictated he was here for good, so Golia embarked on a project that helped him become one of the most important guardians of the more experimental pockets of West Coast jazz history. Thirty-five years later, his project of necessity, Nine Winds Records, is celebrating its unstoppable mission with a Wednesday night June residency at the Blue Whale. The self-taught woodwind genie has a sound that can bellow like a foghorn or squeak like a nest full of birds; it’s frenetic, unstoppable, and a far cry from what anyone might consider commercial.
