Archie Shepp - Albert Ayler Changed My Music

[@jazzenthusiast4353]

Saxophone legend Achie Shepp talks about saxophone legend Albert Ayler who was leader of free jazz but is unfortunately unknown to most people nowadays.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Who knows, maybe one day Albert Ayler's music will find a new audience. We can only hope.

[@thomasedward2231]

Jazz Video Guy you videos can have butterfly effect - thank you for your videos. I learn so much from your videos.

[@williambourke6620]

It’s all about what we can learn from Albert. I’m still not sure but it’s always there

[@EdgarBateman]

Thanks for mentioning my dad!!!

[@lahbl]

@@EdgarBateman have you released any avant-garde jazz?

[@arthurroschbooksandmusic7700]

Remember ESP Records? I had "Ghosts", "New York Eye And Ear Control" , "Spiritual Unity",all those weird transparent or colored vinyl LPs. I was a real fan of the avant garde.

What happened to that excellent documentary on Albert done about 10 years ago that I saw at Monterey? I wanted to buy it on DVD but it disappeared.

[@Booboosbirthday]

It’s on KZbin right now!

[@brianp2506]

@@Booboosbirthday yes! I watched a few months ago. Thank you

[@josephtravers777]

'I Am Albert Ayler', Swedish documentary, I believe? A lot of Swedish dialogue. A bittersweet story.

[@scottrobinson2060]

Wonderful to get this inside story. Wish I had a time machine...

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Great concept, the time machine.

thank u again for posting this commentary!

[@jackdolphy8965]

Grande to see Archie here!!! Maybe ok - please can you get with him again…. don’t need to tell you about the treasure of our music he is!!

[@Gl6619]

Archie Shepp seemed like such a fiery, revolutionary guy when he was younger, it almost kind of odd to see him looking and sounding like a corporate CEO. I guess we all mellow out with age. Great video as always.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

He is still a revolutionary but expresses it in different ways.

[@blondeboywilson9221]

Archie Shepps music and artistry has been the hight point of my life.

[@lancemollusk150]

Hey Jazz Video Guy -- glad you do these. Amazing to hear Shepp talk about Ayler. I'm a bass player and knew Bob Cunningham a bit (who Shepp refers to.) Great stuff!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Glad you dig! I worked on an off-Bway show with Bob, Bebop featuring Gary Bartz and Walter Davis, Jr.

[@lancemollusk150]

@@JazzVideoGuy Nice!

[@GOOGLEGoogle-sn8pl]

I studied with Bob Cunningham long ago.He's a genius and a great teacher.If you have heard him do Stella by Starlight,you know what I mean about Bob Cunningham.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

I had the honor of working with Bob Cunningham on a show many years ago, Bebop, which opened off-Bway and featured Gary Bartz and Walter Davis, Jr.

[@markporter9912]

A rare gem. Who are the guys inset? is that John Tchicai on the right???

[@MrFartboy79]

Mark Porter John Tchicai passed away a couple years before this. That's Bret Primack, the Jazz Video guy. It's his channel.

[@markporter9912]

Thanks Mr F. I had some communication with John up until he died. A really nice man, RIP to him.

[@stevedd50]

Archie always talks great. Unfortunately both Shepp and Ayler are utter charlatans as musicians

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Couldn't disagree more.

[@peppertennis]

@@JazzVideoGuy I agree with you man ...

[@skiddoo-fr9ex]

John Coltrane thought they were both great, but you know much more about it than Coltrane, huh?

[@sergiogumbao1339]

@@skiddoo-fr9ex Coltrane loved Shepp, Ayler and Sanders, I love them too

[@billiamtaylor3509]

Well we can all see here who knows absolutely nothing
