A free-jazz pioneer whose music was underappreciated even in the loose and fast ‘60s, Albert Ayler turned the saxophone into an instrument capable of expressing rage and confusion as much as sex and swagger, a radical innovation that Ayler was convinced that someday, somewhere people would dig. Unfortunately, Ayler was found dead at the age of 34, only eight years after recording his first album, so he never go tto see his massive influence play out in the free-jazz and no-wave movements that followed. Seven years in the making, Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin’s exhaustive, illuminating documentary My Name is Albert Ayler follows the Cleveland-born musician’s journey from his adopted home of Sweden to his untimely suicide in New York’s East River, interviewing family, friends, and acolytes, and turning up never before-seen footage of Ayler and his band in the process.
