The Albert Ayler Benefit Golf Outing

Nu Mu Festival Overview
Nu Mu Festival Schedule
 
“Flowers for Albert” is a night of celebration of the musical legacy of the great free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler that will take place on Saturday, Aug 26 as part of August’s Nu Mu Tu Music and Art Festival at 118 Elliot in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Albert Ayler was a forward-thinking improviser who in his short lifespan (1936 -1970) revolutionized approaches to his instrument, and to the jazz language as a whole. Saturday evening starting at 7pm, we’ll host a community-based music making event interpreting the repertoire of Albert Ayler in new ways with a flexible ensemble of local musicians and guests.

During the day on Aug 26 (starting at 10am), a very informally organized “Albert Ayler Memorial Golf Outing” will happen at the Brattleboro Country Club. Ayler was a championship golfer as a youth in Cleveland Ohio. Fees for this event will be donated to local social services organizations.
