Live at the Glenn Miller Café is the third album by the AALY Trio + Ken Vandermark, which was recorded in 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."
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."
