Albert Ayler - The Complete ESP Disk Recordings
Review by Joe
The Complete ESP Disk Recordings by Albert Ayler is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast. This album captures the essence of Ayler's unique style and showcases his innovative approach to free jazz. The collection includes recordings from Ayler's early years with ESP Disk, featuring his signature saxophone playing and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz. The album's sound quality is superb, and the remastered recordings bring Ayler's music to life with a clarity that was previously unknown. The liner notes provide a comprehensive overview of Ayler's career and offer insights into his musical influences and creative process. The Complete ESP Disk Recordings is a fitting tribute to one of the most influential and visionary musicians of the 20th century.
