Mars Williams - Mars Williams Presents An Ayler Xmas Vol. 4: Chicago Vs. Nyc LP [Astral Spirits]

Great Ayler Xmas tribute from Mars Williams with all-star cast of accomplices!

If you only buy one Free Jazz Christmas record this year, I'd suggest it be this one! Really a lot of fun! 




Split release with MARS WILLIAMS' own Soul What Records. Yet another yearly installment of An Ayler Xmas just in time to cheer us up post election. This is the first time that there will be a vinyl version of Ayler Xmas jams! The vinyl version contains ONLY tracks 3 & 6 which are the same medley but done in entirely different styles by the Chicago and NYC groups respectively. HOWEVER, the vinyl version does come with a digital download of the ENTIRE album—and is pressed on limited black and white "Albert Ayler Goatee" swirl vinyl. (Note, copies have slight jacket bends).
