I love the combative leads of the Ayler brothers and Charles Tyler, but Worrell's bass and Murray's drums are buried so far in the mix as to be almost inaudible. For that reason, I have to bring the score down - lower than I would like. I know it's a live recording, but still. What little I can make out from the rhythm section is great, but that's the thing: it's only a little. I still recommend Bells for free jazz fans, but be aware of that glaring production error.
