The Ayler Xmas Show at Gateway City Arts

About

For many years Witches & Devils, the long-running Albert Ayler tribute band led by saxophonist Mars Williams, have existed mostly as an excuse to get together and perform an annual Chicago holiday concert.

For the last two of years, along with the annual Chicago performances, Williams experimented by performing “An Ayler Xmas” in New Orleans, using local musicians. The performances were incredibly successful!

This year, featuring local improvisers from each host city, Williams expands his project by bringing it to select cities in the US & Europe.
