A gifted young singer can't decide whether she loves Billie Holiday or Albert Ayler more. What we hear is a combination of both: song-based, but spine-tinglingly out. Melodic and sweet and very dangerous.
This is both splendidly breath'd song-based singer jazz, and also passionately, movingly risky free jazz.
Thank you, ESP-disk. Thank you, 1960s.
