That's great. There were follow-on interviews with Don Cherry talking about Albert, and a 40 minute one of Ayler himself being interviewed by a, presumably, Danish interviewer in front of a young audience, ending with a recorded telephone conversation of Ayler with a Dutch agent! Utterly amazing stuff!

For any 'Bobcats' on the bored(Bluesnik?):
