I think I can tell the difference between good and bad Ayler 
performances. I have had many of his records but didn't keep them all 
because I thought nothing was happening. I'll admit he's not easy to 
listen but I also find Sidney Bechet difficult to listen to in large 
doses because I find his work too rich.

On the other hand, I can listen to John Gilmore's work for extended 
periods, apart from his stints away from Sun Ra (Blakey, Hubbard, Bley, 
Mingus, Dizzy Reece etc, where is seemed totally bored).
