Albert Ayler: His Life and Music

may not be sold or

(but not limited to) subscription BBSs, shareware CD-ROMs, etc.
All paper
publication rights are retained by Jeff Schwartz. I'm really sorry
to put this
on here, but I just met someone who's marketing a commercial CD-ROM
made almost completely from stuff they found on the WWW and I
don't
want anyone doing that with this book unless I get a cut, ok?
My main sourse for this material is the chapter on Albert Ayler
in Valerie
Wilmer's As Serious As Your Life (London, 1977). This essay, based
on
original interviews with Albert and Donald Ayler, their parents,
and others
in their circle, is a pioneering work to which all Ayler students
are
indebted; it has provided the basis for biographical and other
information
used in Peter Niklas Wilson's Spirits Rejoice! (1996) as well
as several
articles on the tenor saxophonist.

Kent, Paul Haines, Lee
Santa, and Val Wilmer.
Note
The format of this book was inspired largely by a number of
oral histories, especially Nat
Shapiro and Nat Hentoff's Hear Me Talkin' to Ya. Like Hentoff
and Shapiro, I have used
interview excerpts whenever possible to let my subjects speak
for themselves.
