New York Eye and Ear Control [Remastered] [Digipack]

Director Michael Snow is a Canadian national treasure and a true Renaissance man. He assembled a stellar group to improvise a soundtrack for his art film Walking Woman.

"This is a very interesting set, music that was freely improvised and used as the soundtrack for the 34-minute short film New York Eye & Ear Control. Tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler leads the allstar sextet (which also includes trumpeter Don Cherry, altoist John Tchicai, trombonist Roswell Rudd, bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray) on two lengthy jams. The music is fiery but with enough colorful moments to hold one's interest throughout." -- All Music Guide
