This double CD from 1998 combines all of the music on tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler's In Greenwich Village recording with a two-album set from the same sessions, titled The Village Concerts . In addition, there is one number from 1965, originally included on the sampler The New Wave in Jazz, and a previously unissued"Universal Thoughts" from the 1967 date, one of the very few examples of Ayler using a trombonist . Teamed up with brother Donald Ayler on trumpet, violinist Michel Sampson, occasional cellist Joel Freedman, two bassists , and drummer Beaver Harris, Ayler uses simple march-like melodies, which could have come from 1905, as the basis for his improvisations, which often become quite violent. Among the pieces are"Truth Is Marching In,""Spirits Rejoice,""Angels" ,"For John Coltrane," and"Change Has Come." Donald Ayler's bugle-like fanfares and the droning violin certainly make the ensemble's sound quite unique.
