"Albert Ayler In Greenwich Village" is a 1967 (see 1967 in music) live album by free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler. It was his first album for Impulse! Records, and is regarded as probably being his best album on that label. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3cfyxqe0ldte~T1 Allmusic: In Greenwich Village – Overview] ]

Originally released on LP, the album has since been reissued on CD.

Background

At the urging of John Coltrane, Impulse! Records' first recordings of Ayler were made live. A single track recorded at the Village Gate in 1965 was released on the album "The New Wave in Jazz" and the current album was recorded at the Village Vanguard and Village Theatre, New York City in 1966 and 1967. [Kahn, A.: The house That Trane Built: London, Granta Publications, 2006] Unusually, Ayler plays alto rather than his usual tenor on the opening track, a tribute to Coltrane, who was present when the two tracks on side two of the album were recorded. The two versions of Ayler’s band heard on the record both feature two bass players, which "sharpens the sound considerably, producing a rock-solid foundation for Ayler’s raw witness". [Cook, R. and Morton, B.: The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, 8th ed.: London, Penguin Books, 2006]

Further tracks from the same performances were released on the double album "The Village Concerts", and both albums, along with the 1965 track mentioned above and one further track, have been combined to produce the double CD album "Live in Greenwich Village: the Complete Impulse Recordings".
