Mats Gustafsson - Mats G. Plays Albert A. mp3 download

Wishamac

Mats really sings in this interpretation of Albert Ayler tunes. The slight sound of a music box gets louder and louder and transitions to the baritone saxophone playing Ayler''s melodic songs. This is very soulful and meditative music. It's perfect for getting up at 5 am or coming home at 5 am and putting this on the turntable and listening to it drinking a strong cup of coffee. This Qbico LP and the other "Plays Duke" really shows how Mats was influenced by the music history that has occurred in the last fifty years. I have listened to Mats many times when he comes to Chicago. The solo settings have such a power to them. This LP reminds me of those live performances.
