Albert Ayler Trio 'Spiritual Unity' (Get Back reissue)

:rfr

A reissue!?!

Yes! From the Abraxas company. Based in Florence, the city of the Borgias!

The vinyl comes in a transparent sleeve. One side has a full circular reproduction of the original ESP issue frontcover, the other has a full circular reproduction of the ESP album backcover! White vinyl background. Pretty nice object. Sound is OK (mono!). Have not compared yet with my ESP original LP.

A sticker on the transparent plastic sleeve reads:

'Albert Ayler's 1964 debut release on ESP.

A historical moment in avantgarde jazz.

Spiritual Unity defined the ethos of ESP as the quintessential free music labels of the 60s and 70s.'

Paul Bley Trio on Radio Canada International label, recorded in Montral 1968, with Mario Pavone on bass and Barry Altschul on drums

Brownie, the Abraxas label has a copyright policy very 'borgia's style :crazy: and their reissues are very 'a la page', I would say nicer to look than listen to.

Yes indeed. Should also have mentioned Florence as the city of the Medicis!

Now spinning:

Jaki Byard: Flight of the Fly

Great record - perhaps my favorite Jaki Byard

Just listened to: Texas Rhythm & Blues (Ace UK) - Connie Mack Booker, Quinn Kimble, Clarence "Bon Ton" Garlow, and burning guitar by Cal Green all over side one.

James Cotton: From Cotton with Verve (Black Magic/Netherlands) - late 60's Verve sides - probably Cotton's best.

Noticed during this listening that Paul Serrano, who played on Eddie Johnson's Nessa release, played trumpet on some of these recordings.
