"A genius of the tenor saxophone." -Cecil Taylor
"He carried the gift, the voice, a reflection of God." -Don Cherry
"The dynamite sound of our time!"-Amiri Baraka
"Man, what kind of reed you using?"-John Coltrane
"Trane was the father. Pharoah was the son. I was the holy ghost."
-Albert Ayler
By 1958, Albert Ayler and his horn had made some rounds: from boy
prodigy to teenage member of Little Walter's Blues Band, from "Little
Bird" of Cleveland to featured US Army Band soloist. Then he
resolutely set out to forget everything he'd ever learned about how to
properly play the sax so that he could really PLAY it -- unhinged, free
from strictures of pitch and form, drawing on spirituals, folksong,
marches, and other big whopping chunks of collective musical memory --
to channel symphonies to God out his horn.
Seeking nothing short of Truth in music, Albert Ayler became THE
catalytic force in defining the sound of the tenor in Free Jazz, and
was a heavy influence on John Coltrane's later work.
Holy Ghost is the first comprehensive attempt to build a monument in
sound to Albert Ayler. The settings -- radio and TV sessions, studio
demos, private recordings, live concert footage -- find his music at
its most liberated. And with the sponsorship and assistance of Ayler's
family, friends, and colleagues, Holy Ghost documents his never-before-
heard first and last recordings, bookending rare and unissued music
from every stage of his career.
Albert Ayler: heard ABOUT more than heard. But that's all about to
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
HiT2000 (of course it's us!) brings you the record event of the year!
Highly anticipated, ultra rare recordings, re-introducing us to the
Godfather of the Free-Form. Track 4 of Disc 6 says it all: NY, St.
Paul's Cathedral, Ayler serenades his good friend John Coltrane, who
lay in a casket, the only way he knows how: with love, power and a
voice unlike anything the world will hear again.
Consider this your sampling. If you're an Ayler fan, you MUST own this
beautifully packaged set (see pictures). In the age of mass production
it's something truly unique. The original tape quality is variable, but
Revenant has done a remarkable job restoring them. Put it on your
Christmas list!
