Reissue, originally released in 1963. Unorthodox saxophonist Albert Ayler straddled different jazz streams during his brief career. After playing with Stanley Turrentine and Harold Budd in the late 1950s, a move to Sweden brought him into the limelight, fronting his own trio. Debut album Something Different!!! comprised four dissonant songs delivered live with bassist Torbjörn Hultcrantz and drummer Sune Spångberg, with a barely recognizable rendition of showtune "I'll Remember April," an off-kilter take of Sonny Rollins's "The Stopper" (retitled "Rollins' Tune") and a wobbly cut of Miles Davis's "Tune Up," along with the original "Free." An exceptional musical experience.
