label in 1998 and collects three performances by Taylor with Archie Shepp, Jimmy Lyons, Henry Grimes and Sunny Murray with Ted Curson and Roswell Rudd added on one track which were originally released under Gil Evans' name on Into the Hot (1961).

The remaining tracks feature Rudd with Giuseppi Logan, Lewis Worrell, Charlie Haden, Beaver Harris and Robin Kenyatta and were originally released as Everywhere (1966).

[2] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and, regarding Taylor's contribution, commented: "Still poised between some measure of hard-bop language and his own developments, the music has a somewhat jolted feel, as if three tracks and 22 minutes simply wasn't sufficient to project the wealth of ideas Taylor had going on; even though this is the first disc to feature such collaborators as Lyons and Murray, everything is still trying to fall into place... it feels like an unexplored nook in the music.

Roswell Rudd and trumpeter Ted Curson turn the quintet into a sextet and the dense ensemble passages are signature Taylor, as is his warp-speed pianism and the solo by his longtime alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons.

Lyons and Shepp's saxophones address the growing storm whipped up by Ornette Coleman while the pulse of the music threatens to tear itself away from the bebop revolution.
