1. Unknown title (INC) (27.20)
Notes: Info from Ed Hazell: "As I remember the concert, it began with a long, ritualistic poetry and dance section (the poetry took place in complete darkness) before the music began.
This opening section is on the original tape and I think I must have decided to just copy the music portion of the concert. The sound is really bad as I remember it. Which is also why I probably decided that dubbing the poetry wasn't worth it. The music lasted for much longer, but the master tape only have the portions – the opening half hour – that I dubbed.

Dennis Gonzales: Jimmy Lyons played quite a few concerts with Cecil Taylor's Unit (with Ramsey Ameen, Alan Silva, and Jerome Cooper) before, during, and after the Cecil Taylor 1979/1980 (late December - early January) Winter Intensive Workshop at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, New York, where I studied with Jimmy Lyons). In fact, they played a concert on New Year's Eve/New Year's Day '79/'80, as well as played and conducted the Cecil Taylor Student Orchestra, along with sax quartets, string ensembles, percussion trios, of music and poetry written by Cecil Taylor. In the concert, Sunny Murray also played drums.
