Albert Ayler – My Name Is Albert Ayler (Fantasy, 1965 First US Stereo Pressing)
Today would have been Albert Ayler's 85th birthday. Ayler was one of jazz's most adventurous musicians but never really developed a reputation until after his death. That in itself was strange as he went missing for several days and when his body was later found in the East River the rumours began to surface, with claims that he committed suicide, was shot, or tied to a jukebox and drowned by the mafia.
