SF Premiere: My Name is Albert Ayler

Red Vic Movie House
San Francisco, CA


The prophetic free-jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler, who today is seen as one of the most important innovators in jazz, was obsessed with his radical music and by the thought that people one day would understand it, as he said in his own words: If people dont like it now, they will. In 1962 he recorded his first album in Sweden. Eight years later he was found dead in New Yorks East River, aged 34. This new documentary follows the trail of Albert from his native town of Cleveland to New York by way of Sweden, meeting family, friends and colleagues. Albert himself guides us with his voice and music. Seven years in the making, the film includes newly discovered footage of Ayler and his band. (79m)

Dir. Kasper Collin is scheduled to appear at each screening for Q&A.
