Got this album today as the docu is virtually unavailable to find or stream on the net, and "prison" on vinyl is too expensive to own. I like a lot of SJB's poetry and written work discovering it this year, (I managed to find 4 of his books at various prices) but his solo music material displayed here is quite special too. reminds me of Tom Waits "Closing Time" era. a truly troubled character on all accounts, but heavily overlooked. if anyone has copies the wraith or Hermione, hit me up...

such a gentle voice compared to his often manic delivery of his spoken word poetry. both forms are truly fragile, and very beautiful. must say after this year I'm glad to have engulfed his writing and music.

The concert hall recordings collected in the box set Europe 1966 are perhaps the greatest document of Ayler's art, a fiery mix of folk, New Orleans jazz and classical elements that was simultaneously tuneful, joyous, avant-garde and incredibly spiritual. Energy music indeed.

Sounds like a good guy

Ayler’s influence on Trane and even Rollins was apparent……..but when I listen to his work, it s as if,artistically, Hendrix was working in a parallel universe…one with similar artistic peaks and compromises..but one with chicks and money. Ayler was the real deal.

My dad crashed his car to this song lmao

Jetzt bin ich froh das jemand gefilmt hat...an dem Abend hatte ich kein Kopf dafür!! 😉

SEHR GEIL!!

thanks for bringing back the memories of hazy 20yr old me blasting this band's music :)

Wow… incredible for this to be captured.

so sick. mille plateaux never miss

the sound of the Chaos. before Creation

true Masterpiece

unique.

What a beautiful Cat he was!

He says this just months before his death, on the occasion of a very successful concert, how long it took Monk to make it (and remember, Monk lost his cabaret card in NYC, the capitol of Jazz,) and composers who only were recognized after death like Charles Ives. If only he could have stayed in Europe, I believe he would have lived and had a satisfying career.

Crazy this still exists. I loved playing on this. Bitter sweet memories of Rainywood time.

beautiful!! Thank you!

Thanks !! So difficult to get it !1

Got you on BBC Late Junction. Sveta prasina. Great stuff.

Recorded in a prison and was scrapped I believe..

Learning this on guitar while I'm in a treatment facility.

His voice is so annimated x I wonder if there was a condition that would not have been detected at that time. He reminds me of David Helgoff how he repeats words xxx

I recorded this. Honestly, Jesse and I weren't really satisfied with him nailing this one down when we took a swing at it in a room at New City Theater one afternoon. Me, I preferred his take at ReBar during the "Sad Bag" release party, but well what can ya do? This really ain't bad, tho. Thanks for posting it up:::::

special

Hells yeah... Love this number. I recorded this -- part of a session of tracks now readily available thanks to this account's vinyl-to-this -- in Jesse's junkie vets firetrap SRO room (#31) at the Hotel Ontarion on Airport Way South in... tryna think... sometime in 1991. Unfortunately, he had tha crappy Yamaha guitar, and I only had a pair of low-ball electrec Shures (849, I think), so the bottom end was crap. I did what I could in remastering back then compensate that as well as temper the mics self-noise. Regardless, Jesse and the open window ("MORE NOISE, PLEASE!") low-key late afternoon ambience made it all work pretty beautifully. We really couldn't screw it up. At that, he made us some badass Turkish coffee on his heatplate. I brought giant deli sandwiches. He was about to wrap his head around half of his ginormous sandwich and asked, being oddly polite, "Is this too much--?" 😆😆😆 I had no issues. heh "Sell me Virginia And sell me Spain Sell me an ocean liner And sell me a train..."

My lazy personal indulgence is such that I ADORE that you rendered this from the vinyl to here, because it is SO convenient for me to get a fix here instead of digging around... and, tho Pete sent me three of these slabs, it does me no good with no turntable... but HEY... I recorded all of this. Everything on this slab attributed to the Trigger Mobile Unit (fun name, really....heh) is from me. Pete was great. The reception, not so much. In all fairness, some of Jesse's numbers were born for covers, arrangements with jazz bands, stuff like that. Anyhow, yeah, freal -- thank you for this. It's an indulgent comfort batch for me. Still, more people should get to know this stuff. ;)

I recorded this. I was recording Jesse, in those days. We did a session in his room, #31, at the (junkie vets fire trap) Hotel Ontario one afternoon. Buncha stuff, including "More Noise, Please" (describing life there on Airport Way South). Pete Sillen used some of it in his doc on Jesse. The guitar was that crappy, thin-necked Yamaha he made due with before the Guild (which he offloaded to a pawnshop on 1st, near the Market, and I "rescued" around late September '91. Had it in my apartment in West Seattle for awhile. Last I saw him was at the gay bar Hombres one afternoon in October -- fuckin random meeting location -- over a pool table. By then, he was spiraling down, via a weird Tacoma moment. Left me stuck at the table with some random middle aged dude because Jesse, slamming pool player and hustler that I suddenly learned he was (oh ok... I was surprised because--?) threw his game with the guy to force me in. "Finish your game," was the last thing he said to me. Walked out. Next thing I heard, my answering machine jammed up, was he was dead on the res. Later, I met Julian at the Cause to hand off the guitar. Best home/inheritor, I figured. Anyhow, yeah, I got this vinyl from Pete. Thanks for posting. Easily one of my favorite numbers from SJB. Someboy oughta do a cover with reeds and brass n stuff. Overdue.

In the halls of S.C.U.D.

My English is bad but this man I understand

Amazing interview, great..pure no pretence..

Albert So good to hear t You ,Donald and I stayed at the Stollman s riverside during a misplaced winter slow. Storm. Mid sixties there were four sofa gleaming oat meal cookies served at dawn

Love this man,

🌱🌙

ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS .

Albert Ayler was a musical genius!

The last bit that talks about the club dates is poignant, to say the least. $110 for a night, split between Ayler and his backing band, averages out to $20-$30 per player. Also, if this is 1970, these are dates that never got played since Ayler died in New York around that time.
