robertoart Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 I listened to the youtube previews a while ago. And look forward to hearing the whole thing now it's out. From the clip, It sounds like a fiery and relentless performance Personally I love hearing Blood Ulmer's guitar teamed with tenor playing like this. So the release came as a nice surprise. An important release that adds to these players discographies. Quote

I listened to the clip again after posting this. It sounded even better than I remembered it. This is a hugely important release in the general scheme of archival releases I think. Although I suppose it will be appreciated by 'the faithful' and gradually disappear into the miasma of itunes/digital land. I wonder if it was released back in the day what kind of iconic and legendary status it might now have here's a snippet of one less than impressed listener; His band on Blues for Albert Ayler, recorded in 1974 at the club Ali’s Alley, run by drummer Rashied Ali, includes guitarist James “Blood” Ulmer, a player whose work has almost always left me cold, and frequently been actively annoying; bassist Benny Wilson, with whom I’m not familiar; and Ali on drums. To be 'actively annoying' is better than indifference I suppose When I get the whole thing I might listen to it and compare with this recording as well Ulmer and Ali from 73, but the Frank Wright/Ayler sounds more fluid and intense from the sample.
