CECIL TAYLOR JAZZ UNIT "THE EARLY UNIT 1962" (INGO , 1962)
A recording from a seminal phase in Cecil Taylor's career.
The sound is really not the best - it's a bootleg!
But who I am to complain - in fact it is one of three known recordings from this excellent group - here in a rare early setting with a bassist.

Wow. Really never thought I'd see this anywhere. Haven't listened yet, but wanted to post a thanks!
YES
many thanks. I'd forgotten about these Ingo albums, but there were a lot of very good, if roughly recorded, sessions among them. For me this is Taylor's most exciting period.
Wow. This is golden. Thanks so much for posting it. (And the sound isn't that much worse than Nefertiti, the Beautiful One Has Come.)
Terrific, thanks a lot.

2 – 3. Ingo (Italy), Sixteen, "The Early Unit 1962", (LP)
4. In circulation as a radio broadcast.
Notes: The LP, # 2 – 3, is made from the TV broadcast.
According to Sunny Murray, it only happened once in Stockholm that a
recording session took place and as Kurt Lindgren played with the
group only 2 days, it is likely that the possible radio recording
took place on the same occasion as the TV recording. The TV broadcast
is confirmed by a notice in an article from Orkesterjournalen (SE),
November 1962.
The TV tape was reused.
The announcement is made by Bengt "Abbe" Johansson.
Primary Source: Info from Jan Ström, #4 also documented by Ed Hazell in his unpubished C. T. discography
Many thanks for this post onxidlib, and for having advised me about Michael's message.
Thank you Trane for this welcome illumination.
Maybe someone has the radio broadcast and is able to complement this post.
Many thanks for the music, onxidlib.
Thanks for the info, trane.
Stupendous, thanks! (And agree on the sound quality relative to Nefertiti...)
Thank you!
