Because, well, because of this review: "Ayler’s interpretation of Summertime is remarkable. It’s idiosyncrasy, it’s insistence on the violence of translation, the blood on the floor that is interpretation. Chang Tzu’s butcher slipping his blade effortlessly inside the spaces between the bones, dancing with the carcass of an ox that falls away entirely separated, a harmonic equation of blood, bone and flesh. Could Gershwin have ever imagined Ayler?
The poet Ted Joans likened the impact of this trio to hearing someone scream the word ‘fuck’ on Easter Sunday in St Patrick’s Cathedral." -The Penguin Jazz Guide by Brian Morton, Richard Cook

“Every man is evil yes and every man is a liar

In the black soul choir”
