about

Split release with Williams' own Soul What Records. Yet another yearly installment of "An Ayler Xmas" just in time to cheer us up post election. This is the first time that there will be a vinyl version of Ayler Xmas jams!!

PLEASE NOTE: The vinyl version contains ONLY tracks 3 & 6 which are the same medley but done in entirely different styles by the Chicago and NYC groups respectively. HOWEVER, the vinyl version does come with a digital download of the ENTIRE album.
