From the sleevenotes ‘When I heard the news that Albert Ayler had died and was then shocked to discover that his death was not mentioned in the New York Times or the San Francisco Chronicle, much less the wire services, I thought of Anton Webern.’ Ralph J. Gleason (from `Perspectives: The Death Of Albert Ayler’ inserted in the Get Back CD release.) * The Spirits Rejoice Session - photographs by Guy Kopelowicz * *
