Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during a transformative residency in Copenhagen, this album introduces Taylor's incredibly powerful trio with saxophonist Jimmy Lyons and drummer Sunny Murray. Their deeply communicative, aggressively percussive approach effectively abandoned traditional tempo, laying a crucial foundational stone for the rapidly developing global free jazz movement.
