"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

For some people, this is / was the last bastion of social media; Not only do we get to listen to music we don't get to hear anywhere else, but there's this sense of community as well. Learning new stuff all the time: listening to awesome music = silently lurking. I'm out.

Wild Neil||Peace All:

From Wikipedia about Cecil Taylor: Classically trained, Taylor is generally acknowledged as having been one of the pioneers of free jazz. His music is characterized by an extremely energetic, physical approach, producing complex improvised sounds, frequently involving tone clusters and intricate polyrhythms. His piano technique has been likened to percussion, for example described as "eighty-eight tuned drums" (referring to the number of keys on a standard piano).[7] He has also been described as "like Art Tatum with contemporary-classical leanings".

I saw CT perform solo and in a duet improvisation with Pauline Oliveros about 10 years ago. It was at a posh opening gala for a newly-constructed performing arts center, and let's just say that most of the drunken bougie revelers didn't know what hit them once the duet improv set began.

*** Cecil Taylor was a Revolutionary artist who pushed jazz piano to it’s outer reaches. He was fearless. He was bare knuckled intellect and raw heart. He built an international audience completely outside of the constraints & vagaries Of Fashion. Cecil Taylor was a True American.*** <-- Vernon Reid

thankyou thankyou for the cecil set. i only saw him perform once, in SF in 2000/2001. i was in college and don't think i had ever seen anything quite that "out" at the time. but i also hadn't seen anything as direct and immediate—or anyone who was so completely, physically present (if that makes sense) in their playing.
