One of the most controversial figures in the history of American music, saxophonist Albert Ayler recorded his final performance at the Foundation Maeght, in St. Paul de Vence, France on July 27, 1970. Four months later on November 25, 1970 the saxophonist was found dead, floating in New York's East River. This release includes all eight tracks from the Maeght performance, featuring Ayler on tenor and soprano sax accompanied by his partner Mary Maria Parks on vocals and soprano, pianist Call Cobbs, bassist Steve Tintweiss and drummer Allen Blairman.
