1978 Japanese re-issue on ESP-Disk's "ジャズ名盤 Collection" of the 1965 album featuring Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray. With insert.

condition (record/cover): NM / VG+

Insert included. No obi.

Second copy of the Japanese ESP-Disk' pressing of the trio masterpiece, and no apologies for stocking it twice - some records you simply keep on hand, always. Albert Ayler at the absolute center of his art, July 1964, with Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray completing what might be the most perfectly balanced trio ever assembled in improvised music. The themes are folk-simple, the playing is beyond category, and the whole thing runs on pure spirit. This is the record you hand to someone who asks what free jazz actually is - and the record you return to yourself after decades, still finding new rooms inside it. No collection is complete without it. Japanese pressing quality throughout.
