A leader album released in 1978 by the American jazz pianist Cecil Taylor, who, despite having a background in contemporary music and classical music, pursued an extremely physical form of expression. This album features a sextet led by Taylor, including Jimmy Lyons (alto saxophone), Raphe Malik (trumpet), Ramsey Ameen (violin), Sirone (bass), and Ronald Shannon Jackson (drums). Taylor, known for his powerful and aggressive interplay infused with a unique intelligence, fully demonstrates his inclination in this work. The album showcases extended sessions where Taylor's piano improvisations serve as the axis, with the participating members respectfully following the compositions.
