This album, released in 1982, features live recordings from a concert in 1966 by American saxophonist Albert Ayler, who was renowned in 1960s New York as a leading figure of avant-garde jazz. The quintet includes Donald Ayler (trumpet), Michel Sampson (violin), Lewis Worrell (bass), and Ron Jackson (percussion). Side A features "Truth is Marching in," while Side B showcases the theme and variations of "Our Prayer" by his brother Donald. It is a passionate and energetic performance that transitions from melodic and lyrical marches to chaos.
