Rare 1968 re-press on Impulse!/ABC of the 1967 album featuring Alan Silva, Henry Grimes and Donald Ayler.
condition (record/cover): NM / EX
Gatefold sleeve.
Albert Ayler's finest hour on Impulse!, assembled from live 1966-67 recordings in the Village. "Truth Is Marching In" delivers exactly what its title claims - the Ayler brothers leading the procession with total conviction. And then there is "For John Coltrane": Albert on alto over a string ensemble, playing a farewell so naked and so beautiful it stops conversation dead every time. This is the record where the major-label context and the uncompromised vision actually met, and the results are magnificent, beautifully recorded, deeply moving. Original US Impulse! edition in the classic orange-and-black gatefold - the way this milestone entered the world.
