The Jazz Composer's Orchestra（JCOA, 1968）

This in an overwhelming performance that records the best moments of 60's free jazz.

The track where Cecil Taylor takes a solo is particularly impressive, backed by the thick sound of the Jazz Composer's Orchestra led by Michael Mantler.

Cecil's piano explodes as if cutting through the chaos, proudly proclaiming his status as the king of free jazz piano.

Anyway, I want you to listen to Cecil's solo first.
