Albert Ayler

Featuring: Henry Grimes, Sunny Murray

condition (record/cover): NM / NM

With original innersleeve.

A Freedom label collection drawing on prime early Albert Ayler from the 1964 breakthrough period - the season when everything changed, for him and for the music. The title says it plainly, with no marketing poetry, and the music delivers it completely: the folk-melody themes, the massive vibrato, the rhythm sections in full flight around him. The Freedom imprint did enormous service keeping this material in circulation in Europe when the American industry had mostly looked away, and these editions have their own honest place in the Ayler story. A fine way into the deepest Ayler for those still building their shelves, and a solid companion pressing for those who already have everything else.
