Review 1
This album and Unit Structures (made earlier the same year for Blue Note) were the first recordings of the fully matured Cecil Taylor. The pianist/composer finally mastered the art of mixing composed and improvised music into a dense, powerful soundscape and found musicinas who understood his concept. Andrew Cyrille brings Taylor's unique rhythmic sense to life with ferocious power. An avant garde classic with one alternate take added to the original album.
