1978 Japanese re-issue on ESP-Disk's "ジャズ Collection" of the 1965 album featuring Gary Peacock, Henry Grimes, Sunny Murray, Donald Ayler and Charles Tyler.

condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (light yellow spots on back)

Insert included. No obi.

Judson Hall, New York, September 1965: the expanded Albert Ayler group with brother Donald Ayler on trumpet, Charles Tyler on alto, the two-bass team of Henry Grimes and Gary Peacock, and Sunny Murray driving the whole congregation. Marching bands, church hymns, bugle calls and pure fire, all compressed into one of the wildest records ESP-Disk' ever released - which is saying plenty. The title track charges like a New Orleans parade that took a wrong turn into paradise. And then "Angels", with Call Cobbs' harpsichord shimmering under Ayler's most tender playing, will simply break your heart. Ecstatic music in the most literal sense. Japanese pressing, highly recommended.
