Albert Ayler in Greenwich Village

446:, Pete Welding awarded the album 5 stars, and wrote: "Ayler and his confreres are creating their own ordered cosmos in their music, as they make that music. And this album offers the best, fullest, most perfect view of that musical cosmos I've heard so far... The music is vividly alive, churning, full of colors and textures, and relentlessly moving. There is a great deal of energy and restless passion to it, yet it doesn't sound 'disturbed' or otherwise disoriented. Ayler's music is not at all incomprehensible or difficult of access. All it requires is a pair of open ears, a willingness to enter a world of musical thought that might on the surface seem alien and uncomfortable. It's not, though. The vistas are fresh, the natives friendly and, as the ad says, 'getting there is half the fun.' There's a lot of the latter in Ayler's music. This album is worth your attention, believe me. Ayler may well be the Johnny Dodds of the avant garde, and in my book that's high praise, perhaps the highest." 332: 294: 431: 370: 365: 360: 355: 350: 327: 322: 317: 312: 289: 284: 279: 274: 426: 421: 416: 411: 406: 401: 396: 391: 386: 471:
