The 1965 Judson Hall session on the Japanese ESP-Disk' 15PJ series - the editions many collectors quietly prefer for their pressing quality. Albert Ayler's music at its most communal and ecstatic: two basses churning, Donald Ayler's trumpet calling the faithful, folk melodies torn open and rebuilt as collective celebration. This is the album where Ayler's vision of music as public joy - parade music, church music, revolution music - comes through most clearly. It rejoices, exactly as promised on the sleeve, and it does so at maximum intensity from the first note. One of the essential ESP catalog numbers, full stop.
