The 1964 spirituals session on CD via Black Lion - Albert Ayler at his most tender, with Call Cobbs laying down church piano while the tenor sings the gospel repertoire essentially straight, letting the vibrato do all the preaching. "Goin' Home", "Down by the Riverside", music older than jazz itself, played with a devotion that needs no avant-garde credentials to land. This is the perfect entry point for anyone who thinks they already know what Ayler sounds like, and the perfect rebuttal to anyone who ever called him a charlatan. Handy CD format for the car, the shop, the kitchen - wherever souls need repairing.
