with the freedom that Mr. Ayler had achieved long before he toured Europe, when
Bernard Stollman first recorded him in the early sixties. His music is demanding and disturbing; beautiful and earth-shattering. It blazes through the rhythmic strategies of bebop, takes what it needs and then barks and thunders on the road to freedom. He plays many of the same music at various venues. Remarkably the basic structure—even the melodic content—remains the same, but his improvisations are fabulously new and awesome in the variations that he urged from his tenor saxophone. Naturally this affects the members of this group, which was by all accounts and purposes one of the most remarkable to ever accompany this genius."

the Ayler mystique as a performer was to hear how immediately he would dictate a marching rhythm, theme, or folk song melody, or even perhaps a child ballad ... This is an amazing document, like the
Hilversum sessions but better, because the sound is respectable here and matches the grandeur and shocking emotional immediacy of the performances".

One word about the tunes. After the
Lorrach concert, Albert was too tired to identify them. For many hours, I've compared the pieces with dozens of other Ayler tunes. I hope I didn't make any mistakes. Albert was very free in his disposal of his own (and other people's) compositions. He really had a

Raul Da Gama, in a review of the Lörrach, Paris, Stockholm, and Berlin recordings, commented: "His music worships at the altar of originality. It is deep, prayerful and beyond musical; it is theological. It traverses the collective polyphony of New

According to Ayler biographer Jeff
