Review:
“After several years off records, pianist Cecil Taylor finally had an opportunity to document his music of the mid-'60s on two Blue Note albums (the other one was Conquistador). Taylor's high-energy atonalism fit in well with the free jazz of the period, but he was actually leading the way rather than being part of a movement. In fact, this septet outing with trumpeter Eddie Gale, altoist Jimmy Lyons, Ken McIntyre (alternating between alto, oboe and bass clarinet), both Henry Grimes and Alan Silva on basses, and drummer Andrew Cyrille is quite stunning and very intense. In fact, it could be safely argued that no jazz music of the era approached the ferocity and intensity of Cecil Taylor's.”

Condition:
DISC: NEAR MINT with 100% of original gloss, as clean as can be found. Appears to have been played one or two times at most, and handled with care. Labels are clean, except for a few pen notations. Fidelity is superb. An excellent playing copy you will never need to upgrade.
JACKET: Jacket has a couple minor issues, but overall is still quite serviceable. Front panel is clean except some staining at the bottom left corner. Seams and spine have darkened slightly. Back panel has some moderate surface/ring wear, a small area of staining at the bottom right corner, and a bit of writing at song titles, otherwise fine.
Includes original vintage “27 Years Blue Note 1939-1966” factory inner sleeve in excellent condition.
