Die Like A Dog (album)
''Die Like a Dog: Fragments of Music, Life and Death of Albert Ayler'' is a live album by saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, bassist William Parker (musician), William Parker, and drummer Hamid Drake. It was recorded in August 1993 at Townhall Charlottenburg in Berlin, and was released in 1994 by FMP/Free Music Production, FMP.
