...you MUST check out "Akisakila" which is a trio-record with Cecil, Jimmy Lyons (dope and severely underrated altoist; his "Other afternoons"-record might on the low be the best record on BYG/Actuel!) and Cyrille.

Anyway, as soon as some japanese dude introduce the band, Cyrille goes in hardcore and stay that way for 80(!!!) minutes,; I haven't heard many drum-performances that can compete with that record in terms of sheer power/force. Initially, I dismissed this album as one of Cecil's "assault&battery"-type records but after spending a week with it, it came clear that it's a very well-structured performance, it just so happens that the intensity level is on 100% from the getgo and it never lets up; midblowing shit and Cyrille is just a force of nature...
