An avant-garde gemstone engraved with a cry for freedom
These are raw and powerful early recordings from a period when Albert Ayler was establishing his own unique musical language.
The tone emanating from the tenor saxophone, a mixture of prayer and roar, shook the very foundations of previous concepts of jazz. The raw, untamed ensemble is imbued with an overwhelming vitality and spirituality that would later lead to free jazz.
