My Name Is Albert Ayler
Dir. Kasper Collin
(Sweden, 2005. 79min; DVCam)

http://www.mynameisalbertayler.com/

Director Kasper Collin is scheduled to be present at each screening for Q&A.

SYNOPSIS:

My Name is Albert Ayler is a new documentary about the prophetic free 
jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, who today is seen as one of the most 
important innovators in jazz. Ayler was obsessed with his radical music 
and by the thought that people one day would understand it, as he said 
in his own words “If people don't like it now, they will." In 1962 he 
recorded his first album in Sweden. Eight years later he was found dead 
in New York's East River, aged 34.

  The documentary follows the trail of Albert Ayler from his native town 
of Cleveland to New York by way of Sweden, meeting family, friends and 
colleagues who help tell the story of his life and music. Ayler himself 
guides us with his voice and music. Seven years in the making, the film 
includes newly discovered footage of Albert Ayler and his band.

"Remarkable!"
- The New Yorker

“Beautiful feature debut ... brings Ayler and his message of spiritual 
unity back to life"
- The Village Voice

“Heartbreaking as it is, this film is a rarity and not to be missed.”- 
All About Jazz
