Lady Birthday - in chronological order as MP3 whilst at work ... don't like the way they grouped the music on the box, would have preferred the alternates at the end of each session, if not grouping it all in chronological order.

Disc 2

[jeffcrom]

Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost (Revenant), disc one. This disc starts with Ayler's first recording as a mature musician - a June, 1962 broadcast recording with Herbert Katz's Finnish band. It's fascinating, and pretty great. It's obvious to me that Ayler knows exactly what he's doing on these standards; his playing is strange, but not random. He knows the melodies, the form, and the chord structures, but he's hearing something very different from his Finnish colleagues. And the 22-minute piece by the Cecil Taylor Quartet (Taylor, Ayler, Jimmy Lyons, and Sunny Murray) that follows is epic, amazing, important - a holy thing, really.

Thanks Jeff for prompting me to get this out. I feel very fortunate to have been at Ayler's London School of Economics concert in 1966.
