> DESCRIPTION
Seven years in the making, Director Kasper Collin’s astounding documentary shares the story of prophetic free jazz saxophonist, Albert Ayler.
Ayler always said that “if people don’t like it now, they will,” which
has proven more than accurate, as he is now widely seen as one of the
most important innovators. In 1962 he recorded his first album in
Sweden. Eight years later he was found dead at 34, in New York’s East
River. Tracing his journey from Cleveland to Sweden and ultimately to
New York, this documentary uses newly discovered audio and film
recordings of Ayler and interviews with his family, friends, and fellow
musicians. Join Kasper Collin in person for a post-screening Q&A.
