Coltrane called saxophonist Albert
Ayler the m ost important innova­
tor in jazz. O ne o f the leading fig­
ures i n the avant-garde o f the 1960s,
A yler was frustrated by the lack of
acceptance for his music, which left
most perplexed. Bom in Cleveland,
A yler recorded his first album in
Sweden in 1962; only eight years
later, at age 34, he was found dead
in New York's East River, a mystery
still unsolved. Collin's film is tilled
with rich and rare archival material
along with the intim ate recollec­
tions o f fam ily, friends and col­
leagues.
