Album Notes

It isn\'t strictly an Albert Ayler album but a very interesting collaborative freely improvised soundtrack project for Michael Snow\'s film of the same name.

.
Michael Snow, the Toronto based film maker and pianist and catalyst for free improvisational performers everywhere; painter, sculptor and record producer, and the pride of Canada, used the image of pianist-composer Carla Bley as the inspiration for ah art film, NY EYE & EAR CONTROL. For his sound track, he assembled a group of ESP artists in his loft, and recorded them on July 17, 1964.
