The problem with the trio recordings heard on this LP is that bassist
Torbjorn Hultcrantz
and drummer
Sune Spangberg
sound as if they are completely ignoring what tenor saxophonist
Albert Ayler
is playing. While
Ayler
improvises quite freely on a lengthy "I'll Remember April" and versions of "Rollins' Tune," "Tune Up," and his original "Free,"
's sidemen just play conventionally, never reacting to the tenor's flights or any of his ideas. It is a pity, for the lack of interplay weighs down what could have been an innovative outing. ~ Scott Yanow
