    "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!
