Improvised architecture that pushes the limits of avant-garde design.
This is pianist Cecil Taylor's masterpiece for the Blue Note label. A historic album that intertwines abstract construction and explosive improvisation, opening up new horizons in free jazz.
From the very beginning, a mass of sound surges in, refusing to compromise, allowing chaos and structure to coexist. Taylor's piano is more of a continuum of rhythm and sound than melody, with each instrument freely intertwining while also creating a meticulous structure. In tracks like "Steps" and "Enter, Evening," we hear moments when extreme tension becomes music in its own right. The album's approach of breaking down traditional forms and creating a new order runs throughout, making this a turning point in the history of free jazz. A masterpiece where overwhelming energy and intelligence coexist.
