Recorded at April 1978.

Together with "Cecil Tylor unit 1978" and "Live at Black Forest", this "3 Phasis"
were recorded by Cecil Taylor Unit of 1978.
Since Alan Silva left the unit in 1966, Cecil Taylor unit had been in principle without bass.
And in this unit, combination of bass of Sirone (who once joined with Cecil in "Spring of two blue-J's in 1973) and
drums of Ronald Shannon Jackson generates different rhythm groove from Alan Silva and Andrew Cyrille.

Recorded live on 3 June 1978 in SWF-Radio Jazz Concert in Kirchzarten, Black Forest, West Germany.

This is one of four records of Cecil Taylor Unit of six personel in 1978 year. Live recording.
Cecil Taylor unit would remind us of Unit Structure and Conquistdor in 1966 year. Good mixture and balance of composed parts and free improvisation parts are similar to both units. On the other hand, passing of twelve years and different members (only Jimmy Lyons and Cecil Taylor himself are same personnels in both units) bring about changes in characteristics of music.

This is converted from casset tape into mp3. I think quality is enough to introduce this wonderful music, though not ideal.
