Album Notes & Community Reviews
Despite Gil Evans's name on the cover, this Impulse! release actually functions as an unparalleled showcase for two distinct avant-garde ensembles led by Cecil Taylor and John Carisi. Evans purely served as the producer, using his industry clout to introduce Taylor's radical, dissonant free-jazz to a wider audience.
