In their short time together, Albert Ayler and Don Cherry created a body of music that genuinely exists in the moment.

Oblivious to rules and aesthetic boundaries, they played what they felt on their nerve-ends, embracing mistake and wrong turns as part of the experience of making art in the moment.

Now over sixty years old, these recordings breathe as strongly and sound as vividly as they did when they were made.

This box set contains four sets of recordings from September, 1964 in Copenhagen, from a week performing live at Club Montmarte, and a recording in Hilversum, The Netherlands for VARA Radio, remastered and compiled together for the first time on vinyl.

Albert Ayler's vital free jazz quartet featured Don Cherry on cornet, Gary Peacock on double bass and Sunny Murray on drums.

The four LP set includes extensive liner notes from Brian Morton.

*Limited to 1 copy per customer/household, multiple orders will be cancelled without notice.
