(1961)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [1] New York City R&B is a 1961 free jazz album originally recorded at a session by bassist Buell Neidlinger[2] but subsequently reissued under joint names with the pianist Cecil Taylor. It was produced by Nat Hentoff. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "This music is quite advanced for the period although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; at least one can hear (even in abstract form) his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington".[3]
