Album Notes & Community Reviews
Albert Ayler introduces simple, folk-like melodies and march rhythms before deconstructing them entirely through intense, overblown saxophone improvisation. Backed by Don Cherry's trumpet and Sunny Murray's meterless drumming, the session stands as a definitive document of the New York free jazz explosion.
