Live recording of Ayler's large septet configuration, featuring brother Donald, Charles Tyler, Sunny Murray and both Henry Grimes and Gary Peacock on bass. Compared to the bare trio of Spiritual Unity this nearly big band of two bass players and a strong horn section allows Ayler's expressive vision depth from the joyous to the agressive in Ayler's 5 original compositions. The digitally remastered recording was originally made at 30 ips instead of the usual 15 giving it excellent fidelity.


Personnel


Albert Ayler: tenor saxophone
Donald Ayler: trumpet

Press Quotes


"Once in a great while, an album comes along that’s filled with so much god-awful beauty and spiritual intensity that every majestic note contained therein cuts deep into the dark places of your soul and leaves you with nothing more than the promise of sweet deliverance...Albert Ayler’s Spirits Rejoice is that kind of album" - Tiny Mix Tapes

"Spirits Rejoice is proof that there was an underlying logic even to Ayler's most extreme moments, and that's why it remains a tremendously inspiring recording." - Steve Huey, All Music Guide
