Looking up "bathos" on Wikipedia you also see "mock-heroic," which is a pretty good encapsulation of a cosmic-blues struggle. And a mystical struggle--purity of soul vs. a demeaning and pitiful reality.

Is that Gary Peacock on bass?

[opinioninflicting]

No, not on this one. I believe this is with a European group.

[nondor13]

Yeah; a tone that is both literally and figuratively so saturnine and maudlin it approaches the bathetic.

albert ayler was one of the few musicians who taught me that music doest have to follow certain rules you don't need like sheet music or scales ect. he taught me that music comes from the soul you can't be taught how you want to play, which changed my outlook on how i approach my instrument a truely life changing figure i can finally laugh at patronizing music teachers and class mates at school who may know music theory but not the real shit like albert, god rest your soul man.

@MrBatty132 i have to agree with you, but trust me Ayler knew his scales and theory. They are integral parts of becoming a strong player. The ability to transcend and innovate on your instrument is only going to come after achieving a high proficiency. Theory, scales, etc will always have their place, how you wish to use them (or not use them) in your playing is what makes the artist.

@Djangoblackbird It is Henry Grimes on bass, Call Cobbs on piano and Sunny Murray on drums.

Honestly I have not heard a saxophone that carries more feelings than this in a long time.I can easily say that it's the most interesting vibrato I've come across.Thank you so much.I already listen to this song 5 times in a row...
