This live album captures the authentic performance of Cecil Taylor and his band, the "Cecil Taylor Unit," at the 17th Yugoslav Jazz Festival held in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia (now the capital of Slovenia) in 1976. The album features an hour-long recording of Taylor and his entire band, including frontmen Rafe Malik (trumpet), James (Jimmy) Lyons (alto saxophone), and David S. Ware (tenor saxophone). While Cecil Taylor and free jazz in general can seem complex, this album, though free-form, follows the traditional jazz structure of theme, solos, ensemble, and solo again, making it a great introduction to jazz. In the latter half of the performance, Taylor's solo piano playing becomes even more intense, and when Mark Edwards' drums join in, the battle shifts from piano to drums to a battle of percussion instruments. The relentless playing continues until the very end, concluding with an ensemble that could be interpreted as everyone taking a deep breath, but the sense of presence is simply incredible! Taylor's passion, the overflowing fighting spirit of the musicians, and the intimate time shared with the audience who are trying to receive it are all packed into this album!
