Dutch radio, November 1964: Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray in pristine broadcast sound, playing the core repertoire at the absolute height of their powers. Many discaholics consider this the best-recorded document of the greatest Ayler band, and we will not argue: every strand of Peacock's bass, every shimmer of Murray's cymbals, every dart of Cherry's cornet sits clearly in the picture while Ayler pours it on. "Ghosts", "Angels", the whole book, played by four men who knew exactly what they had. Released on the Dutch Osmosis label. If the ESP records lit the fire, this one shows you the architecture of the flame.
