The one time I heard Albert Ayler play live, it was with this band (Junie Booth replacing Alan Silva) in the spring of 1968. As I recall, they played some of the tunes from this album, but as medleys, rather than individual tunes. To my ears, that was more effective, but I guess Impulse decided that the record would be more commercial if the tunes were separated.

.... we agreed that we both enjoy Mr. Byard more as a solo pianist than when he's playing with a band.

Interesting .... for me it is just the opposite ....

Amazing. It must've been extraordinary. Love that record.

Same, on all counts, "Universal Indians" in particular...the vocal, so direct, so obvious, as to be scary unless taken totally "as is", and then,,,it's all good then. But not until!
