Happy birthday to Albert Ayler, the jazz saxophone legend who boldly blew past musical boundaries and made free jazz freer than ever! Your fearless improvisations in the 1960s didn't just push limits—they practically laughed at them. Thanks for reminding us that sometimes, the best melodies come from breaking all the rules.Even today, your groundbreaking albums like "Spiritual Unity" and "Ghosts" continue to inspire musicians worldwide. While most of us struggle to improvise dinner plans, you effortlessly improvised entire genres. Here's hoping your birthday is as wild and unpredictable as one of your legendary solos—just maybe with fewer startled neighbors!
