"Ayler's sax in particular becomes the voice of a Rilkean angel: simultaneously beautiful and terrifying. ...
This is the haunting question: when is even music inadequate to the task of surrounding human experience with meaning? Because here at John Coltrane's funeral, music a whole, always transcendent, verges on inadequacy, dissolving under the sense of an Ultimate Tragic realization: human being is not merely irrelevant to the gods, it is an unwelcome presence. The pressure of this active negation-- call it malign fate or doom-- is what resists the expected outward expansion of the music into the transcendent and pierces into the listener on the most primal ontological level. It is harrowing and unbearable. ... There is meaning. But it is an alien, strange and monstrous creature. If we were able to endure even a syllable of its language, I believe it might sound something like Albert Ayler.
