Props to purple, whose album comment delivers a great impression of this site's own beloved member RFNAPLES. ... This jazzy album-length-track is both chaotic and precise. I especially like the piano and drum work near the end.

I'm not sure which is my favorite free jazz album this or Spiritual Unity by Albert Ayler. Fantastic nonetheless, the playing is certainly a bit inaccessible for anyone new to the genre, but the layered wild soloing is stunning and emotional.
