I really enjoyed seeing Rickey Woodard live last year with an orchestra presumably assembled by John Clayton.

This must be very interesting. Seems to be a quite late recording of Albert Ayler.

I might try to find some of her recordings. It seems that she was a living legend of German Jazz in the 60´s already. I´ve heard or read stories that she was not easy to handle and had some years of and started a comeback towards the end. There must have been a review in Jazz Podium, that something went wrong at such a comeback concert. 
But all I heard is that she was maybe the most talented voice of jazz in Germany or Europe in general.

I don't know the album, but I saw the film in Paris on its release in 1960. I recall that "Pannonica" was a haunting repeated theme.

Yes.  Sadly, Ayler was found dead just a few months after these concerts at the Fondation Maeght.

From the Mosaic Select box... Curtis Amy & Paul Bryant - The Blues Message (Pacific Jazz). Nice blues here. Unusual in that it has a bassist with an organ player which honestly anchors these blues tunes a bit more. I love a nice walking bass line on a slow blues tune.

This would make an excellent Tone Poet LP.
