@discoAL It's also too short for posting pointless dickish comments about music you don't appreciate.

@kctvirginia Any music can be transcribed, freely improvised or not, if the transcriber is skilled enough. And each recording of 'Ghosts' is not 'essentially identical'; to name the most obvious difference between the two versions on Spiritual Unity, one of them is nearly twice as long as the other. Besides the completely different improvisations, Ayler plays the head slightly differently in each version. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.

@swallowmytongue Is it because of your very small penis that you insult complete strangers on the internet who haven't offended you in any way? Or is it because of your stupidity? Or both?

@kctvirginia shut the fuck up you stupid hipster bitch :P. I feel the power of the music, so i'm not gonna overthink it like your bitch ass, haha. Excuse my francais.

I use the word "composition" because I don't consider this "free jazz." It is extremely controlled and could be transcribed. In fact, Ayler recorded "Ghosts" several times. Each recording is essentially identical (meaning that he and Peacock/Murray (on this copy) were not improvising. It's really more of a fore-runner to Anthony Braxton. So Ayler is probably correctly categorized as an avant garde musician, which is of course a contradiction in terms, in that he defies categorization.

This is one of my all-time favorite jazz compositions. As great as Ayler is on this cut, Sonny Murray's drums really drive the train.

@coolmankeoma Exactly what in your mind defines "intellectual" music? Music is actually quite culturally determined so it is rather meaningless to talk about "intellectual" music.
