Live in Greenwich Village was Albert Ayler's first recording for Impulse, and is arguably his finest moment, not only for the label, but ever.
The Village gigs reveal the mature Ayler whose music embodied bold contradictions: There are the sweet, childlike, singalong melodies contrasted with violent screaming peals of emotion, contrasted with the gospel and R&B shouts of jubilation, all moving into and through one another.
"Truth Is Marching In" casts a bleating, gospelized swirl against a backdrop of three- and four-note "sung" phrases that are constantly repeated before kicking down all the doors and letting it rip for almost 13 minutes.
"For John Coltrane" opens the set with a sweltering abstraction of tonalities in the strings and horns. On "Change Has Come," the abstraction remains but the field of language is deeper, denser, more urgent.
This recording is what all the fuss is about when it comes to Ayler.
Side 1:
For John Coltrane (13:32)
Change Has Come (6:15)
Side 2:
Truth Is Marching In (12:12)
Our Prayer (4:28)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels - no evident spindle wear
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT (NEAR MINT)
Both surfaces are like-new but in common with North American pressings they have in-vinyl blemishes - all audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Stunning sound quality - Ayler’s sax sings and soars - plays beautifully throughout with nothing to fault - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean and solid - no major issues of note just some wear to bottom spine corner - strong spine with all text clear and bold.
