New Grass is a 1968 album by jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler released on Impulse! Records. Fred Thomas, writing for Pitchfork, attempted to place the album in perspective, commenting: "This certainly wasn't jazz of any kind, but was too overstimulated and confused to pass for the Woodstock-generation rock'n'roll it was trying to emulate. What was this?... New Grass signaled the beginning of a descent into darkness for Ayler, one that saw him grasping at ideals of redemption and healing all the way down... Ayler's spiritual message... grew weirder and more intimate as he struggled to deliver it in a way that could be universally understood... Ayler's notion of popular music was so distanced from reality that it became its own self-contained universe." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGNVtyjTfG4&list=RDeGNVtyjTfG4&start_radio=1 #AlbertAyler #Jazz #ImpulseRecords #Music #PrettyPurdie #FreeJazz #SpiritualJazz

Love Cry is a 1968 album by jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, released on Impulse! Records in 1968. An article in Jazzwise stated: "The swirling psychedelic typography that adorns the cover of this often overlooked album from Ayler's discography hints at the direction he was heading at the time. Along with John Coltrane's Om and Archie Shepp’s The Magic of Ju Ju, this was experimental acid jazz at its most potent." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvyBNTWzbLg&list=PL511fSPfMr9IGJCwwOTvIOQIfwWosgzlG&index=1 #AlbertAyler #FreeJazz #Jazz #ImpulseRecords #Music #AlanSilva #MilfordGraves
