Bells is rough, revelatory, key. Albert and his brawling new group — brother Donald, Charles Tyler (making his recording debut), Louis Worrell and Sonny Murray — rocking New York Town Hall to the ground on May Day 1965. Prophecy was captured on tape by the poet Paul Haines the year before at the Cellar Cafe in NYC: the Spiritual Unity lineup, Ayler with Sonny Murray and Gary Peacock; with four performances from the same concert added to the original LP release.
