My Name is Albert Ayler
My name is Albert Ayler
A critically acclaimed portrait of prophetic free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, this has been called one of the most starkly beautiful and moving documentaries ever made about a jazz musician. John Coltrane called Albert the most important innovator in jazz, few others understood his radical music during his lifetime. In 1970 he was found dead in New York's East River, aged 34. "An extraordinary portrait of an extraordinary musician." (Sight & Sound)
