A legendary concert by free jazz genius Cecil Taylor released for the very first time.

The Cecil Taylor Unit's performance at Salle Pleyel in Paris on November 3, 1969, was a notable moment in avant-garde jazz.

Featuring Cecil Taylor on piano, Jimmy Lyons on alto saxophone, Sam Rivers on tenor/soprano saxophone and flute, and Andrew Cyrille on drums, the concert showcased the group's intense, free jazz style.

Released officially for the very first time, the recording was transferred from the original tape reels at INA and restored and mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.

This deluxe limited-edition 180g 3-LP set includes an extensive insert with rare photographs from the show and liner notes by acclaimed jazz critic and author Phil Freeman.
