About
This classic July 1964 trio set, Albert Ayler’s first for the storied avant-garde label ESP Disk, is an excellent introduction to the doggedly nonconventional tenor saxophone sound that changed improvised music forever. With bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray, Ayler largely broke free of tonality and regular pulse, instead mining a vocabulary of timbre and attack, yielding a raw spiritual cry that spanned the range of the horn and often reached beyond it. It was arguably the most influential tenor sound after Coltrane’, a guiding light for such heirs as Peter Brötzmann and David S. Ware. Murray’s flexible, reactive feel pointed the way forward for many drummers after him as well. .
