House of Chadula 2012
The two disc set collects all the covers of Albert Ayler pieces that I could find in my catalog, solos and ensembles, various times, dates and recording quality, live & studio combined. ***** and all the stars in the sky for Albert Ayler.
“Doc Chad arranges and performs a vital section of the Albert Ayler songbook in a 2-CD release featuring solo settings to a quintet with musicians including Charles Tyler, Massimo Pupillo, Ted Reichman, Joe Williamson, &c. Ayler tunes covered include 4 versions of “Ghosts”, 2 of “Prophecy”, 2 of “Witches and Devils”, plus “Change Has Come”, “Truth Comes Marching In”, &c. Eugene Chadbourne is an extremely informed jazz historian, and his arrangements of these classic U.S. free jazz compositions represent a unique take on an important artist whose voice still resonates with modern improvised music.
