Albert Ayler Quintet - Black Revolt (1966)


Albert Ayler Quintet - Black Revolt

Tracklist:
1 Bells 18:18
2 Ghosts 23:24

Bass - Lewis Worrell
Percussion - Ronald Shannon Jackson
Tenor Saxophone, Written-By - Albert Ayler
Trumpet - Donald Ayler
Violin - Michel Sampson

Recorded May 1, 1966 at Slug's Saloon, NYC.

Very rare album feturing two long tunes of Albert Ayler quintet in 1966
at Slug's Saloon.Maybe not official recording. So sound quality is not so
good. But it is worthwhile with very long performances of middle 60s Ayler.
