1973, Antioch College: Cecil Taylor completely alone - Indent, one of the great early documents of the solo concerts that would become the very core of his art for the next four decades. Without the Unit, the architecture stands fully revealed: cell-like motifs planted, developed, layered and detonated across a continuous arc, the famous physicality - the whole body playing, the dance he always insisted was the point - in service of a compositional mind working at symphonic scale in real time, no edits, no retreat. The Antioch period matters in the story: Taylor teaching, theorizing, building the solo language in academic shelter while the clubs still hesitated. First issued on his own Unit Core imprint - self-determination in action, the musician as his own institution - and carried to the wider world by Freedom.

Japanese pressing on King, clean and powerful. Solo Taylor is its own complete universe with its own physics; this is one of its founding maps, and it still astonishes.
