The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states During the two lengthy pieces, Lyons passionate solos contrast with Dixon s quieter ruminations while the music in general is unremittingly intense. Both of the Taylor Blue Notes are quite historic and near classics but, despite this important documentation, Cecil Taylor other than a pair of Paris concerts would not appear on records again until 1973 . ref Yanow, S.

Most of the story, however, is set in a parallel universe discovered by one of Rolfe s descendants. Plot summary John Rolfe VI is an infantry captain who comes back from World War II with a war wound and few prospects, but in 1946 a radio he is rewiring malfunctions and creates a gateway to a parallel universe. This universe is one in which Alexander the Great lived a full lifespan creating an empire that stretched from Spain to India. In this world, the Alexandrine Empire proved so strong and durable that it redirected the barbarian migrations of the Goths, Vandals, etc, eastward towards China and the Far East. As a result what remains of China is a hodgepodge of Indo European dominated states, the Americas remain undiscovered, and technology has barely progressed to a medieval level. Deciding to take advantage of the untapped resources that await in this different California, Rolfe gathers some members of his infantry company to help him explore and develop this new world. Over the next 60 years, he builds a new nation which he called the Commonwealth of New Virginia, in this parallel universe.
