Biography of Albert Ayler
Albert Ayler (July 13, 1936 – November 1970) was an American avant-garde jazz saxophonist, singer and composer.

His trio and quartet records of 1964, like Spiritual Unity and The Hilversum Session, show him advancing the improvisational notions of John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman into abstract realms where timbre, not harmony and melody, are the music's backbone.
