albert ayler
the hilversum session

a legendary recording by tenor saxophonist ayler with his amazing working band, recorded in holland for radio play, here digitally remastered with new artwork, liner notes by russ musto.

the hilversum session by albert ayler is one of those legendary recordings in free jazz. it was recorded in a netherlands radio studio in front of a small invited audience, at the end of the ayler quartet's european tour on november 9, 1964 in front of a small invited audience. the band - ayler, don cherry, gary peacock and sunny murray - had been playing ayler's tunes for months and were uncanny in their ability to hear one another and improvise together at that point. it was also the last time the group would record together under ayler's name as a quartet and then went out at a peak.

unknown radio studio recordings from hilversum, holland, november 9, 1964, originally released on lp as osmosis (h) 6001.

albert ayler, "slugs' saloon" esp4025

a live recording of ayler’s may 1st, 1966 performance at slugs saloon, this two disc set features fresh takes on old favorites, such as “ghosts” and “bells”, and finds the seasoned quintet in stellar form, marching its way through ayler’s distinctive brand of major triad melodic harmony to the greatest heights of individual expression and group improvisation.

please note that other recent reissues of this date, by fruit tree and lone hill, are neither authorized by the ayler estate, nor – in the case of the latter – musically complete.

albert ayler
spirits rejoice

albert ayler - tenor saxophone
donald ayler - trumpet
charles tyler - alto saxophone
sunny murray - drums
call cobbs - harpsichord
henry grimes - bass
gary peacock - bass

live recording of ayler's large septet configuration, featuring brother donald, charles tyler, sunny murray and both henry grimes and gary peacock on bass. compared to the bare trio of spiritual unity this nearly big band of two bass players and a strong horn section allows ayler's expressive vision depth from the joyous to the agressive in ayler's 5 original compositions. the digitally remastered recording was originally made at 30 ips instead of the usual 15 giving it excellent fidelity.

recorded september 23, 1965 at judson hall, new york by david hancock

it isn't strictly an albert ayler album but a very interesting collaborative freely improvised soundtrack project for michael snow's film of the same name. recorded in july 1964 by albert ayler, don cherry, roswell rudd, john tchicai, gary peacock and sunny murray. liner notes, photos and more... digitally remastered from the original tapes.

michael snow, the toronto based film maker and pianist and catalyst for free improvisational performers everywhere; painter, sculptor and record producer, and the pride of canada, used the image of pianist-composer carla bley as the inspiration for an art film, ny eye & ear control. for his sound track, he assembled a group of esp artists in his loft, and recorded them on july 17, 1964.
