Real talk: this is actually the greatest jazz album of all time.
You can really see how Albert Ayler's music affected the bebop scene during the late 50s and 60s. I'm 100% certain that both John Coltrane and Eric Dolpy said that Ayler's music was the greatest thing that they ever heard, and I'm going to guess many of the others (especially in post-bop and free jazz) held a similar sentiment.
Let's discuss that chaotic, melodic, brilliant music.

Except that Ayler was more influenced by Trane, Dolphy, and Coleman than the other way around.
I much prefer Dolphy's more cerebral approach anyway.

Evidence? The interviews on Holy Ghost Unissued don't make it seem like the other way around. Coltrane even requested he play at his funeral.

This is as silly as Scruffy implying that Cecil Taylor had a large impact on the jazzstream

not him, but does impact even matter?
the greatest impact on jazz made by a single individual is probably either Bird or Armstrong, but it doesn't necessarily mean their music is the best or most refined of any jazz.

This. Iron man is one of the greatest jazz albums ever

I don't get it when people say they don't like free jazz. It is energetic and dynamic. It feels really natural to me.
