Haverá quem ainda não tenha deitado a mão aos discos que Sun Ra e Albert Ayler gravaram para a ESP-Disk? Se for esse o caso, há agora uma oportunidade soberana de preencher a lacuna, porque a ESP vai publicar duas caixas, cada uma com os quatro discos que os artistas gravaram para a editora de Bernard Stollman.
Sun Ra - The Complete ESP-DISK' Recordings
"Sun Ra's peak period is represented in these four documents recorded for ESP-Disk' during the free jazz revolution, his music transcends the realm of jazz and indeed defies definition. Includes: 'The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra Vol. 1&2', considered to be among Ra's quintessential mid '60s recordings; the astounding 'Nothing Is', recorded during his 1966 tour of NY state colleges; and 1973's 'Concert For The Comet Kohoutek', featuring Ra on synthesizer while his group chants in astral worship, as if demanding the comet to take them back to their alternate universe"

Albert Ayler - 'The Complete ESP-DISK Recordings'
"Not only did these four recordings define the ethos of ESP as the quintessential free-music label of the '60s and '70s, but they also represented (and still remain) some of the most devastating and profound expressions in avant-garde jazz, making history for Albert Ayler and ESP-Disk' as a vital and influential part of American free music.
