Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come

This is one of my favourite free jazz albums, and is most definitely my favourite from pianist Cecil Taylor. It also has sax musings from Jimmy Lyons which are pretty good but honestly could be more adventurous, but it's from 1962 so there wasn't much abstract sax to work off of from him. Lastly we have Sunny ****ing Murray playing some of the best drums I've ever heard. Cecil's the focus point but man, Murray really steals the show on this one.
