About Me

My photo
Kurt
NYC, NY, United States
Kurt Gottschalk is most interested in what Anthony Braxton brilliantly termed the "post Ayler/Cage continuum." His writings about music have appeared in All About Jazz, Signal to Noise, The Wire, Guitar Player, Goldmine, the NYC Jazz Record, the Brooklyn Rail, Coda, Musicworks, New Music Box and Time Out-New York, and publications in France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal and Russia. He is the producer and host of the Miniature Minotaurs radio program on WFMU and is the author of two books of fiction. He almost never writes about himself in the third person.
