Spirits is an album by American free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler recorded in New York City in 1964 and first released on the Dutch Debut label then later released on the Freedom label as Witches & Devils. All About Jazz stated "The names on the cover look good: Albert Ayler, Henry Grimes, and Sunny Murray.
Witches & Devils is a compelling listen because of its situational framework rather than its artistic achievement. Ayler had already had the experience of playing with Cecil Taylor in Europe two years before this. The rhythm section there, Sunny Murray and Henry Grimes, also appear here. Though Grimes plays on only one of the two sessions - the other bassist was Earle Henderson - Murray is present throughout, and what a difference it makes in the sound of Ayler's confidence, tone, and overall musical presentation.

The song was apparently written by Norman Howard, likely explaining its stylistic differences with the rest of the album. His trumpet playing is the perfect compliment to Albert's playing on this piece, with his exaggerated Ayler-like vibrato enhancing the atmosphere of impending doom. The stereo mix also adds to the enjoyment, with Sunny Murray and two bassists near center and Albert and Norman speaking from the left and right respectively. The track is truly worth of the price of the album.
