Very sweet copy of this classic session. Recorded a week after Spiritual Unity, this capture Ayler's trio, with Don Cherry (who would soon accompany them to Europe) and the front-line of the NY Art Quartet. The recording was done as a soundtrack for a film by Michael Snow (the legendary Canadian filmmaker/musician) and the three pieces are stellar examples of group-improv, and not nearly as dense and forbidding as some have made them out to be. Just really fucking beautiful.
