[DaleCredico]

Some of the people don't realize how great an impact Albert had on jazz.

Really grateful for all, all of the Ayler material made available on here.

and of course, the everlasting bad joke:

"Would you like an aspirin with your Ayler?

[adamtabl]

thank you for posting this...look forward to hearing the rest when you canpost it...don was not only a great artist and human, but a deep teacher for those who could hear and feel his spirit

[blackrocknutt]

not online--only on the 9 disc box set of Ayler's music

[denbrunemil]

Is there a part two ?

[fanofmozart]

"There's a few people that people that play for the love of  God and as the reflection from God, and Albert Ayler was one of those people." Amen.

[LeonDeversMedia]

This is not for every one...only the 144,000...

neither albert ayler nor don cherry were heroin addicts. they may have run into it here and there, due to its rampant use in the inner-city black community, particularly among jazz musicians, at the time, but nothing you'd call a heroin addict. just thought i'd add that since there's been some commenting about it. as for don's voice: he sounds like he's at peace - spiritually. just like he sounds on his horn.

Don Cherry told me Albert Ayler killed himself.

Heroin can not make people calm.

They just get normal when they take it.....

I heard that also his mom and his brother (don ayler) were pressuring albert to let don play with albert. Don played trumpet on half of live in greenwhich village, I know, but Albert didn't want his brother as an instrumentalist. Anyway, i heard these and other pressures built and finallly he was on a boat near Ellis Island and he jumped into the water. That's the story I heard. Can't verify it for sure though.

@soulbleed9999 Is that a poem?

[sensitivdude]

Beautiful

[jxw137]

enlightening

[jxw137]

he exorcizes that explosiveness on stage. its what allows him to be so calm. he sounds  enlightened and thoughtful

[11joshua]

guess what? he was a heroin addict his whole adult life.  so that might help to calm him down.

[kwakky]

i like don's voice. he seems like a very calm and reserved guy. i wasn't expecting it, considering how explosive his playing can be.

[PauloNideck]

same here

I thought it would be like Bill Dixon very harsh and crazy personality.
