healing force - the songs of albert ayler


"through meditations, dreams, and visions, the players on this project were given the message to once again attempt to send the people of earth a message of love, peace, and spiritual understanding. we selected a representative set of tunes for this material and essentially let it play itself through us ... we hope you like this record." it doesn't feel like enough for these ears. once again, cuneiform has educated and once again they have rewarded followers with a superb free-jazz release that will hopefully pique interest in the legacy of albert ayler.

    hey, if you know any obscure variations on ayler music (for now only marc ribot comes to my mind and i will try to put it on the net asap), please let me know. :)

    yeah, Ribot's Saints is great.
    Here you have kinda tribute to Albert Ayler made by Peter Brotzmann group Die Like A Dog, it's very intensive.

    also, there are some Ayler's pieces in different albums by different musicians.

    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0z2dmnozgwm - two versions of Ghosts. One by AALY Trio & Ken Vandermark and one by Lester Bowie. I'll look for some more this stuff and send it here.

    Enjoy !

    (have you got Ayler's Live At The Riviera ? post it here, please)
