Sadly, the 50th anniversary of Albert Ayler's death(November 25, 1970) seems to have been almost totally ignored by the jazz media.
Here's the Albert Ayler Quartet with Don Cherry, Gary Peacock & Sunny Murray playing 'Mothers' at the Cafe Montmartre, Copenhagen on September 3, 1964:

Joe Boyd's reminiscences (above) of Gets & Gilberto, and the Max, Sonny, Hubbard, Spaulding group "escapades" on tour are well worth it!

I've just read on Simon Spillet's blog (good stuff but mostly around Tubby Hayes), that Paul McCartney, in his "art 60s", mode used to make abstract home movies to the soundtrack of Albert Ayler records. Cor blimey. And that he (Macca) once showed up uninvited at a Don Rendell/Ian Carr recording session. Lennon apparently hated "jazz" ("just old guys with beer at the bar"). But Yoko and Ornette?Originally posted by Jazzrook View PostA captivating Albert Ayler interview with Daniel Caux for 'France Culture' on July 27, 1970:

"The cognitive dissonance of McCartney & Ayler is too much for me to handle. It's like Liberace and Cecil Taylor working together."

I have vivid memories of Yoko's unearthly screaming with Ornette at the Royal Albert Hall on February 29, 1968.

Well, Yoko dropping in on the SME's recording of "Karyobin" - Evan Parker claimed you could hear her ring the doorbell on the original vinyl, though I'm damned if I know where... and Yoko, Lennon, Trevor Watts, John Stevens and I can't for the moment remember who else on a session in Cambridge around '68 or '69, which may have been recorded - again my memory falters. Stevens was on Ono and Lennon's "Life with the Lyons", and was said to have shouted to the others "See you on Top of the Pops!" at the end.Originally posted by BLUESNIK'S REVOX View Post
It's sad that none of the protagonists - with the possible exception of drummer Trevor Tomkins - is around any more to confirm or otherwise Paul McCartney's dropping in on Rendell-Carr: I can imagine Ian Carr getting quite animated on the subject, Garrick being laconic, eg "well I suppose it's possible", and Don just shaking his head with a smile.Comment

Apparently, Martin Davidson "removed unwanted clicks and noises - including one caused by Yoko Ono ringing the studio's doorbell" on the 2017 Emanem CD reissue of 'Karyobin':
