Live at the Glenn Miller Café is the third album by the AALY Trio + Ken Vandermark, which was recorded in Stockholm in 1999 and released on Wobbly Rail, a short-lived imprint started by Merge Records/Superchunk principal Mac McCaughan. AALY Trio is a Swedish free jazz band led by saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. Originally just a guest, Vandermark became a full member of the group.
In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick states "Overall, a fine, substantial album showing the trio (plus one) in solid form."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "There is an absolutely overwhelming treatment of Albert Ayler's 'Ghosts' and a vibrant version of Joe Harriott's 'Idioms', which sounds better than anything on Vandermark's own Joe Harriott Project record."[1]
The JazzTimes review by Harvey Pekar notes that "Gustafsson and Vandermark perform wide open during most of the album, honking, screaming, rasping and playing as rapidly as possible."[2]
