ALBERT AYLER FACTORY SEALED SUPER-RARE "LIVE @ THE VILLAGE VANGUARD" MINT DOUBLE ALBUM OF 1 HR & 19 MINUTES OF FREE JAZZ FROM ONE OF THE 60'S TRULY PIVOTAL AVANT-GARDE ARTISTS! LP IS UNOPENED AND UNPLAYED!
EXCERPTED NOTES FROM TOM JUREK, ALLMUSIC.COM
On the 1967 date on disc 1, Ayler is augmented by his brother, Don on trumpet, drummer Beaver Harris, violinist Michel Sampson, Bill Folwell and Alan Silva on basses. Only when "Spiritual Rebirth," which opens with a four-note theme, does one get the feeling that the band has been pacing itself for this moment, and that the concert has become an actual treatise on the emotion of "singing" as an ensemble in uncharted territories. Throughout the rest of the set, Ayler's band buoys him perfectly, following him up through every new cloud of unknowing into a sublime musical and emotional beyond which, at least on recordings, would never be realized again. This recording is what all the fuss is about when it comes to Ayler.
Of note: album has a clean, small, cross-cut at the top right of the cover.
