From the sleevenotes

“Albert Ayler se meut dans l’univers musical qu’il est convenu d’appeler ‘New Thing’ avec autant de naturel et d’aisance que Charlie Parker dans celui du be-bop.”*

Daniel Caux (from the sleevenotes to Albert Ayler - Nuits de la Fondation Maeght: Volume 1)

*roughly translated: “Albert Ayler is to the New Thing what Charlie Parker is to Bebop.”
