• Since his first recordings, pianist Cecil Taylor’s astonishing performances were marked by such freedom of improvisation that careful, studied listening wasrequired. Cecil, whose bursts of staccato phrases and subtle use of motifs always implied a melody line, improvised in a manner that (still) defies description.

• He was constantly foraging in search of the dynamically fresh in his solos. Steve Lacy - who made a stylistic leap in joining Taylor’s free jazz quartet, is heard here also blowing a new sound through the horn. His soprano had the virility of a tenor and the manoeuvrability of an alto.

• These performances, which also feature Buell Neidlinger (b) and Dennis Charles(d), make for rewarding listening because of the constant probing and daring of the participants.

• Deluxe digipak edition - 10 tracks : 7 from a studio session in Boston, 1956 - and 3 recorded live at Newport Jazz Festival, 1957.
