Albert Ayler - tenor saxophone Gary Peackock - double bass Sunny Murray - drums FIRST VISIT LIVE OFFERS NEW MASTERING OF THE TRIO’S FIRST PERFORMANCE AT THE CELLAR CAFE, NEW YORK CITY 1964. ­ June of 1964 found Ayler on the verge of what was arguably the most productive phase of his journey, molding the motifs that would make up a substantial portion of his repertoire, pushing and pulling them, taffy-like, seeing how far he could possibly stretch the music while retaining its essential, spiritual core.
