Unit Structures

Try
I posted Cecil Taylor's Unit Structures sometime back in a post with a compilation of albums but thought the album deserves its own recognition. Unit Structures is Cecil Taylor's 1966 blue Note album featuring Eddie Gale (trumpet), Jimmy Lyons (alto), Ken McIntyre (tenor/oboe/clarinet), Henry Grimes (bass) and Andrew Cyrille (kit). Any player able to keep with Cecil's technical playing on this album deserves high recognition.

"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, it could be safely argued that no jazz music of the era approached the ferocity and intensity of Cecil Taylor's".

A truly important and mind-fuck of a record! Highly recommended, enjoy!
