Previously unavailable performances from the much-discussed 1962 Stockholm session.
Personnel includes: Albert Ayler (tenor saxophone); Torbjorn Hultcrantz (bass); Sune Spangberg (drums).
This should have been a memorable and possibly innovative session since this CD reissue features the avant-garde tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler interpreting four standards ("Softly as in a Morning Sunrise," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," "Moanin'" and "Good Bait"). Unfortunately, the Swedish sidemen (bassist Torbjorn Hultcrantz and drummer Sune Spangberg) completely ignore what Ayler is playing and just act as if they were backing a conventional bop musician. The lack of communication between the musicians defeats this effort, although Ayler collectors will find the results quite interesting. ~ Scott Yanow
