The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "On the four Taylor originals, the colorful ensembles are quite dense although there is room for individual solos and heroics. Not too surprisingly Cecil Taylor is very much in control of the music".[2]

gollark: This is, I believe, widely considered the standard for audio streaming servers, although it has some annoying parts.
gollark: Now, mpd feeds into a server called "icecast".
gollark: This is a web client for mpd which allows me to queue new tracks, search things, and that sort of thing, from my "web browser" on my laptop or phone.
gollark: Now, one of those clients for mpd is the creatively named ympd (I forgot what the y stands for).
gollark: But what does it output to? This will be gotten to in due time.
