Yep, I have that resonance-FM show archived somewhere
well . . when I say "archived" I mean it's shoved away in a box full of goddam cassettes
BUT - if anyone was interested ENUF, I could rip it & put it online somewhere
HERE even.
Now, Ayler, yes, he he he -
There was a time when it would be fairly accurate to say that I was obsessed with Albert Ayler & his music & his goddam myths.
But this will not be the time to go into that. Not yet.
Forget Ayler doin' other people's tunes - Bye Bye Blackbird is a curiosity cos he's on soprano, loses the rhythm section, whole thing falls apart. Forget the early scandinavian recordings, it's formative stuff. Start with Spiritual Unity, Prophesy, Witches & Devils (now re-released with another title) blah - and don't go near the Spirituals record either...
ALSO: Caveat emptor: don't buy Slug's Saloon it is an awful audience recording & very short rip-off CD.
HERE's a discography with pictures:
http://www.ayler.org/albert/html/discography.htmlBut if you ever see this at a boot-sale, snap it up - stick it on ebay & retire off the proceeds - nah, just joking, you'd be lucky to get ten bob for it
erm... yep
http://www.ayler.org/albert/ - this is the bestest information site
http://www.geocities.com/jeff_l_schwartz/ayler.html - this one's a good biography, but draws heavily on Valerie Wilmer's original bio & stuff
