[@donaldraby2892]

I have never stopped listening to Albert since his esp days.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💙💙💙💙💙

[@forresthylton8533]

Wow. Unreal.

[@ICH_SAGS_DANN_MAL_SO]

Music is the healing force...

[@bhekumuzigwala]

One of my favourite expressionists. Ayler really knew how to test his horns limits.

[@mkeenan1955]

I love Albert Ayler’s renditions of old standards. I used to have his ESP album, Spiritual Unity. I used to collect jazz albums back in the early to mid 1970s when an album was 4 or 5 dollars. I haven’t listened to Albert Ayler for ages. Thanks for uploading this.

You're right. Thanks for the correct track listngs!

[@johnclark4593]

This reminds me of Bill Pullman's sax solo in Lost Highway.

[@hankworden3850]

This sounds like the sounds I make snake charming myself into full erection.

[@HanksJazz]

I dig free playing, and I think the solid inside sidemen detract from the concept. If he had recorded original compositions, with a band that complemented him, I think he would have had much more memorable impact. Still some of it works quite well. Thanks for the upload!

sharing is caring! thank you!

Coltrane stop playing standars...and finished his last year playing beautiful music. Classical African spiritual music

I could dedicate 20+ years getting reeeeally good at Sax, or just take a few minutes making noises with a balloon for the same effect.

Fast and Bulbous

Tight also..!

[@landenhowell2760]

Summertime is easily the highlight of the record. Absolutely beautiful. Ironically, the one track on this album Ayler wrote is one of my least favorites here. It just drags on for what feels like an eternity and doesn't have much direction. I love free jazz, but it was clear that Ayler was still figuring things out and his bandmates were trying to figure out what the hell to play. Overall though, I like this album. It's kind of amazing in many ways. And god DAMN, that summertime cover is GORGEOUS.

[@ghostandbell2006]

I can't get into any other version of summertime; I really do not like them. This is the only one I can tolerate and it comes from years of having this song overplayed by everyone everywhere.. and finally you can hear the directions of new music being stretched and pulled when you hear the band playing straight and soloist stretching and pulling/when I listen to this version I say finally someone gets it.. and on a side note live at Greenwich Village is one of the most powerful elements/ I'll never forget where I was standing when I was suggested to buy that and then did-everything changed for me....& there's nothing more joyous than reading a Troll's comment/s about music art philosophy Etc/hahahaha

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

Very few interpretations of the Blues are as moving as Ayler's "Billie's Bouce".

[@artyfhartie2269]

You mean Billie's Boobs?

[@Da_Publick]

The real Albert reveals himself on his own composition 'C.T.'

[@Zxx459]

Breaker never venture to the spiritual world of music....his last album was just about technique not beauty

[@chuckciao1]

He hasn’t abandoned chord changes primarily because his sidemen are more mainstream players!

[@emilianoturazzi]

actually here he doesn't play chord changes, he simply maintains metrical structure... and tonal centres (not always and in a very loose way).

[@nathanielwilson183]

Why would you want to go to Scandinavia? I'm heart broken.

[@Familia-Cerecero-Sanson]

So am I! :)

[@Xavia_Dimoff]

He went to the places where the music was being funded instead of playing on the street homeless in the US.

[@Vingul]

Why would he not? Best place in the world.

[@nicholasrees1838]

Wow! On first hearing this sounds very discordant and totally out of tune. I'll give it another go though and see it if gets better.

[@stevedarlington278]

It doesn't

[@cinturad]

I used to listen to a lot of free jazz in the 70's. Archie Shepp is my favorite musician, I love Ornette Coleman but I cannot stand Albert Ayler being so out of tune. It is not a matter of being square, of not "understanding" the music, Albert Ayler esthetics are fine, but he can't control his picth. Might be a hearing problem, many people have no pitch. Any music teacher knows that. If he had played the piano he would have been fine. I do not think Albert Ayler was conscious of being so out of tune, it did not disturb him. Many people in the audience have no pitch so it is fine with them too. Ornette playing a trumpet or a violin was different, it is fun for a minute, as a "concept" but he knew he could not play these instruments.

[@johnjeffries7429]

Ayler's pitch choices are intentional... It's all a part of his concept.

[@M419.99]

You're a fool to say people are tone deaf

[@cinturad]

@@M419.99 . Dear Eddy, I have nothing against Albert Ayler nor against people who love his music. Art is in total freedom and must be so, Artists are rightfully self proclaimed and the fact one is successful in arts is more than enough to respect him as such. Besides let me tell you that as a musician and music instructor I do know that some people have ear problems, They are kind of "pitch blind". no problem if they play a guitar, a vibraphone, a piano, these instruments have fixed pitch (you may play the wrong note, but every note is on pitch) but if you play a saxophone, a trumpet, a violin,a double bass etc... you can only play on pitch if you hear it well. If you don't hear it well,which is the case of many people even among musicians, you cannot pay on pitch, but you are not disturbed bay that. Same for audience, many people are not disturbed by pitch problems because they can not hear them so everything is fine. I swear that I am not being ironical, that's the way it is. When you teach music you detect very easily people who have no pitch. There are nuances of course, some have a much keener ear than mine, my own mother was totally pitch blind, plus some have absolute pitch, but this is another discussion. Kindest regards!

[@hankworden3850]

Yeah pal...I think Monet was just nearsighted.

[@cinturad]

@@hankworden3850 He was not color blind, that's for sure!😉

[@stevedarlington278]

Just terrible. There is a reason his playing has been forgotten. He sounds like he bought his first sax in the morning and recorded the album in the afternoon.

[@Exileonbackroad]
