Speaking in Tongues

Funded by German Public Television channel ZDF, Speaking in Tongues was broadcast across Europe upon its release. It pays tribute to tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler, a key figure in the free-style jazz scene, known for his influential work before his untimely death in 1970.

The film includes performances by renowned artists such as saxophonist David Murray and percussionist Milford Graves. Their contributions, alongside Baraka's poetic insights, create a unique exploration of jazz and its cultural significance during that era.

Collectors can find Speaking in Tongues in several formats, including VHS, DVD, and Laserdisc. Its rarity and focus on an important musical movement make it a noteworthy film for those interested in the history of jazz and documentary filmmaking.
