Charles Martin Simon was an aspiring writer whose artist wife died in 1965. When he tried to pick up the torch and become an artist using her art supplies, he was, in his words, “reduced to nothing,” and thus created an alter ego or “psyche fragmentation,” Charlie Nothing. Under that moniker he became most famous for creating “dingulators,” working guitar sculptures made from parts of American cars; in 1967, though, he recorded \u003cem\u003eThe Psychedelic Saxophone of Charlie Nothing\/In Eternity\u003c\/em\u003e with Brother Frederic, an album consisting of two separate saxophone improvisations accompanied only with gong, tabla, and ukelele. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts cover adorned by Nothing’s own hand-drawn art, this record has since become not only something of a “secret handshake” among free jazz fans, but also a classic of outsider art, fitting right next to your Moondog records if not in sound than in spirit. For its first ever reissue in any format, the label has gone back to the original tapes to present an all-analog release of \u003cem\u003eThe Psychedelic Saxophone of Charlie Nothing\/In Eternity with Brother Frederic\u003c\/em\u003e on black vinyl with the original art intact, offering an unfiltered experience of this man’s cracked genius. A memorable look ‘n’ listen to say the least. — (via Label)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IhM6PsShqps?si=whb9itE8L2ySpZb4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Real Gone Music\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003cbr\u003eCountry: US\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1967\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Free Jazz, Free Improvisation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Avant Garde \/ Free Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Gone Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44323287302302,"sku":"848064017493","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/848064017493_packshot_1024x1024_ea0dd1e7-e1c6-44f5-a7cc-bd2e48a7b94f.jpg?v=1727254661","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/charlie-nothing-the-psychedelic-saxophone-of-charlie-nothing-in-eternity-with-brother-frederic-2024-reissue","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
