| This is a definitive box of Ayler. - 9 CDs of unissued material from 6/20/1962 to 7/28/1970 and includes performances with Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, Burton Greene, Jimmy Lyons, Don Ayler, Frank Wright, Beaver Harris, Milford Graves, Pharoah Sanders, and Sam Rivers and interviews with Ayler, Don Cherry, and others.
9 CDs of rare and unissued recordings, 208 page full color hardbound book, new essays by Amiri Baraka, Val Wilmer, and other Ayler scholars, 10th bonus disc with Ayler as a member of the U.S. Army Band, all housed in a lavish 9.5" square by 3" deep Spirit Box cast from a hand-carved wooden original. Also includes a replica of a note written by Albert, dried flowers, Albert postcard, concert program and more!
By 1958, Albert Ayler and his horn had made some rounds: from boy prodigy to teenage member of Little Walter's Blues Band, from 'Little Bird' of Cleveland to featured U.S. Army Band soloist. Then he resolutely set out to forget everything he ever learned about how to properly play the sax so he could channel symphonies to God out of his horn. Seeking nothing short of Truth in music, Ayler shortly became THE catalytic force in defining the sound of the tenor in Free Jazz, and was a heavy influence on John Coltrane's later work. Holy Ghost is the first comprehensive attempt to construct a monument in sound to Albert Ayler, including his never-before-heard first and last recordings, book-ending rare and unissued music from every stage of his career.
