condition (record/cover): NM / NM

Insert included.

May 1966, deep in the East Village: Albert Ayler live at Slug's, the legendary and legendarily rough saloon where the new music actually lived night after night. The band is the great mid-period unit - Donald Ayler on trumpet, Dutch violinist Michel Samson adding his wild folk-baroque colors, Lewis Worrell on bass and a young Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums. Long-form, march-driven, completely possessed music: themes circle like parade tunes, then the ensemble tears the roof off, then the themes return like nothing happened. Essential live documentation of the working Ayler band in its natural habitat. Japanese DIW edition, properly done.
