The Wizard
<html>
<p><div class="text-justify">Albert Ayler (tenor sax), Gary Peacock (bass) and Sunny Murray (percussion). From the album <em>Spiritual Unity</em> (1965).</div></p>
<p><div class="text-justify">Albert Ayler was an American free jazz saxophonist, singer and composer. His goal was to avoid the notes and enter a new realm in which the saxophone created “sound”. The tempered system of Western music was unable to handle the spasms, bellows and moans that came from his instrument. He was a virtuoso of the “dirty” sound with a multitude of tricks: off-key ripples, barks in the lower register and howls in the upper one, a very wide vibrato and phrases thrown like darts. He took the saxophone vocabulary to its final limits. However, his compositions presented simple diatonic melodies that contrasted with his heated free jazz improvisations.</div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify">His father, an amateur saxophonist and violinist, taught him to play the alto saxophone and the two of them played duets in the church and listened to jazz records together. He first he worked with singer Little Walter’s rhythm and blues band for two summer holidays and graduated from high school in 1954. In 1958 he joined the army, where he played in military bands and practiced with other musicians, including Stanley Turrentine. That’s where he changed the alto saxophone for the tenor.</div></p>

<p><div class="text-justify">In this theme Ayler repeats a phrase three times and immediately starts to make his solo in an outrageous way. His speech is not limited by anything and he is released completely giving the feeling of coming from another planet. He also introduces extreme sounds that arise from his saxophone never heard before while Peacock and Murray cling to his interpretation as a cowboy would a steer in a rodeo. Then Peacock enters displaying a melodic line devoid of any conventional phrase and playing randomly. After that, Ayler comes back to re-expose the theme.</div></p>

hahaha, you know what? when reading your title I was triggered by **the wizard**. opening your post, i found out you were talking about a different **the wizard**, the one I know is Jeff Mills, one of the founders of Techno in early 80s. guess we have more wizards in the music space, how many would there be?
