about

The mystery of Albert Ayler’s musical legacy – as much as that of his still-unexplained death in 1970 – remains today, more than 54 years after these explosive, enigmatic studio recordings were made in early and late 1964, a source of conjecture and controversy. Primarily because his stunningly powerful projection, unorthodox technique, and unique vision resisted the typical methods of description and analysis, critics and scholars have sought to illuminate or, on the other hand, discredit Ayler’s extraordinarily original creations largely through speculation and metaphor. (Art Lange)

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker
