"Headless Hawk"—a premier collector-focused jazz label—joins the Necromancer label, which specializes in reissuing rare titles from small-scale, handmade labels (originally produced by and for collectors) using official master recordings. These rare titles are now available once again at an accessible price point, featuring new reissue branding and updated back-cover artwork.

This is a live recording by the Cecil Taylor Quartet, pioneers of free jazz. While a version of this radio broadcast was previously released on LP, the recording presented here is the unedited version. Experience the raw, breathtaking performance exactly as it unfolded in the moment.
