Tchicai also recorded with Albert Ayler (on New York Eye and Ear Control), the Jazz Composers Guild, and John Lennon (Life with the Lions), and - most importantly - appeared on John Coltrane's legendary free jazz landmark Ascension.

In 1963, he moved to New York City to immerse himself in the epicenter of free jazz. In the late '50s, Tchicai began making the rounds of the North European jazz scene, which was quick to pick up on the early innovations of the American avant-garde. Tchicai was born April 28, 1936, in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and Congolese father he began playing violin at age ten, switched to both clarinet and alto sax at 16, and focused on the latter at Denmark's Conservatory of Music. Saxophonist John Tchicai was best known for his time in New York during the height of the '60s free jazz explosion, but he actually spent the majority of his career advancing the cause of avant-garde jazz in Northern Europe.
