Editor's info:
The two tracks selected here, from the recording My Name Is Albert Ayler: “Summertime” by George Gershwin and Ayler’s original composition “C.T.,” most likely titled for Cecil Taylor, bridge Ayler’s past and point directly toward his future. Spiritual Unity is the fusion of music and pure emotion. It is as if Ayler, Peacock, and Murray were devising their own periodic table of elements by atomizing the components of sound, substituting chords for emotions and eschew- ing any concept of dimensional time. Ayler’s compositions, like those of Thelonious Monk, were to be covered many times in upcoming performances and recordings.
