Albert Ayler – My Name Is Albert Ayler (1963)

My Name Is Albert Ayler is an album by American free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler recorded in Copenhagen in 1963 and first released on the Dutch Debut label.

The album, on which Ayler is accompanied by Niels Brosted (piano), Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass), and Ronnie Gardiner (drums), features a spoken introduction by Ayler, followed by five musical tracks, mostly standards. “C.T.”, the only Ayler original, is dedicated to Cecil Taylor, whom Ayler had met and performed with several months prior. (Ayler had hoped to record the album with Taylor’s group, but ended up playing with Brosted, Pedersen, and Gardiner due to scheduling conflicts.) “Bye Bye Blackbird” represents one of Ayler’s few recordings on soprano saxophone.
