Albert Ayler Trio – Spiritual Unity

Brian Close: I called him Uncle Albert. When I found this music, I was about 22 and tripping all day, walking around with a notebook and writing poetry. I listened to this on repeat and thought: this is how the world sounds. Complete free flow. My friend Pete told me Yoko Ono said that music should be two things – synaesthetic and illegal, or something like that. This checked the boxes.
