1	Spiritual Unity (1964) more music like this by Albert Ayler Spiritual Unity was the album that pushed Albert Ayler to the forefront of jazz's avant-garde, and the first jazz album ever released by Bernard Stollman's seminal ESP label. It was really the first available document of Ayler's music that matched him with a group of truly sympathetic musicians, and the results are a magnificently pure ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $13.71!
2	Holy Ghost: Rare & Unissued Recordings (1962-70) (2004) more music like this by Albert Ayler After listening to Revenant's massive Albert Ayler box set, Holy Ghost: Rare & Unissued Recordings (1962-70), a pair of questions assert themselves in the uneasily settling silence that follows: who was Albert Ayler, and how did he come to be? At the time of this box set's release 26 years after the Cleveland native's mysterious death -- his ... see all copies from $66.29! new only from $66.29!
3	Live in Greenwich Village: The Complete Impulse Sessions (1998) more music like this by Albert Ayler This double CD from 1998 combines all of the music on tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler's In Greenwich Village recording with a two-album set from the same sessions, titled The Village Concerts (the latter taken from two concerts in 1966-1967). In addition, there is one number from 1965, originally included on the sampler The New Wave in Jazz, and a ... see all copies from $16.95! new only from $17.76!
4	Witches & Devils (1964) more music like this by Albert Ayler This Arista Freedom release is actually a reissue of two sessions from 1964. Witches & Devils is a compelling listen because of its situational framework rather than its artistic achievement. Ayler had already had the experience of playing with Cecil Taylor in Europe two years before this. The rhythm section there, Sunny Murray and Henry Grimes, ... see all copies from $9.00!
5	Music Is the Healing Force of the Universe (1969) more music like this by Albert Ayler Music Is the Healing Force of the Universe is a powerful and often ignored recording from the Albert Ayler catalog. It is a prophetic statement dealing with guilt, confusion, sorrow, and hopes of redemption. A powerful rhythm section of Bobby Few on piano, Stafford James and James Folwell on bass, (Folwell on electric fender bass), and Muhammad ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
6	New Grass (1968) more music like this by Albert Ayler Possibly the most notorious Albert Ayler release and universally misunderstood (i.e., hated) by fans and critics alike. When New Grass was released in 1968 it received a hostile outcry of "sell-out." Listening to New Grass in hindsight; it must be taken into account that even though commercial elements are apparent -- a soul horn section, backup ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.38!
7	The Impulse Story (2006) more music like this by Albert Ayler Albert Ayler was a lightning rod for criticism both from within the music community and from without. His free-thinking approach made him a bane for jazz traditionalists, and his incorporation of popular American musical styles like soul, R&B, and even rock made him a sellout to the free jazz crowd. His volume in The Impulse Story series -- one of ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
8	Slug's Saloon - May 1, 1966 (2005) more music like this by Albert Ayler Fruit Tree comes up with the second complete reissue in two years of Albert Ayler's seminal Slug's Saloon performance from May 1, 1966 which was originally released by Italy's BASE label. Two separate volumes have been released many times over the years, but this set faithfully reassembles the Slug's Saloon concert that featured Ayler on tenor, ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
9	Love Cry (1967) more music like this by Albert Ayler From the time he was signed to Impulse in 1966, it was assumed that Albert Ayler's releases on that label would be motivated by an attempt at commercialism. While the music was toned down from his earlier ESP recordings, by no means did Ayler ever make commercial records. Much in the same way John Coltrane's later-period Impulse releases weren't ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
10	Spirits Rejoice (1965) more music like this by Albert Ayler Recorded live at New York's Judson Hall in 1965, Spirits Rejoice is one of Albert Ayler's wildest, noisiest albums, partly because it's one of the very few that teams him with another saxophonist, altoist Charles Tyler. It's also one of the earliest recordings to feature Ayler's brother Don playing an amateurish but expressive trumpet, and the ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
11 view cover	The Hilversum Session (1964) more music like this by Albert Ayler The Hilversum session by Albert Ayler is one of those legendary recordings in free jazz. It was recorded in a Netherlands radio studio in front of a small invited audience, at the end of the Ayler Quartet's European tour on November 9, 1964 in front of a small invited audience. The band-Ayler, Don Cherry, Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray-had been ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
12 view cover	Live on the Riviera (2005) more music like this by Albert Ayler This Albert Ayler concert performance was previously unreleased when the revived ESP label put it out in 2005. Performed a few days before Ayler's final recordings, it features the avant-garde innovator romping with bassist Steve Tintweiss and drummer Allen Blairman in a quartet augmented by singer Mary Maria. Unfortunately, Maria's contributions ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!

Prophecy was Ayler's first session with the label, and he was accompanied by bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray. It was recorded in June of 1964 live at the Cellar ... see all copies from $12.35! new only from $16.37!
14 view cover	Black Lion Connoisseur/Lions Abroad, Vol. 1: Tenor Titans (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of largely European recordings made by visiting and touring American tenor jazzmen between 1962 and 1971. The only ringer is a New York date from 1962 with Bud Freeman and a 1946 session with Wardell Gray. The material is good and most of the players sound relaxed, even if the European musicians don't always play in the pocket. ... see all copies from $7.94!
15 view cover	Nuits de La Fondation Maeght, Vol. 1 (1970) more music like this by Albert Ayler These recordings were previously available as separate volumes and now are packaged together as a double set. These concerts were recorded after Albert Ayler's attempts at more commercial efforts and shortly before the discovery of his death...This was a historically important recording without a doubt, and if not given concentrated attention, ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
16 view cover	Prophecy (1964) more music like this by Albert Ayler The first of Albert Ayler's ESP recordings (but one of the last to be released) is this live session with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray. The tenor is heard on the earliest versions of his most famous theme, "Ghosts" (two renditions are included), along with such melodies as "Spirits," "Wizard," and "Prophecy." Ayler alternated the ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!

18 view cover	Bells (1965) more music like this by Albert Ayler Albert Ayler teamed up with his brother, trumpeter Donald Ayler, on this record for the first time, with the exception of one slightly earlier track issued on an Impulse sampler.

19 view cover	In Greenwich Village (1966) more music like this by Albert Ayler During 1967-69 avant-garde innovator Albert Ayler recorded a series of albums for Impulse that started on a high level and gradually declined in quality. This LP, Ayler's first Impulse set, was probably his best for that label. There are two selections apiece from a pair of live appearances with Ayler having a rare outing on alto on the emotional ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
20 view cover	New York Eye & Ear Control (1964) more music like this by Albert Ayler/Don Cherry/John Tchicai/Roswell Rudd/Gary Peacock/Sonny Murray This is a very interesting set, music that was freely improvised and used as the soundtrack for the 34-minute short film New York Eye and Ear Control. Tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler leads the all-star sextet (which also includes trumpeter Don Cherry, altoist John Tchicai, trombonist Roswell Rudd, bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray) on ... see all copies from $14.60! new only from $14.60!

22 view cover	The Copenhagen Tapes (2002) more music like this by Albert Ayler Quartet When you give birth to a free jazz record label by the name of Ayler Records, you must be dreaming of putting out an album of long-forgotten sessions by the great saxophonist Albert Ayler. It took a while (then again, not that long), but producer Jan Ström managed to get hold of two important sessions recorded in Copenhagen. The suitably titled ... see all copies from $21.00! new only from $21.00!
