Product Description
Deluxe Digipack Featuring: Steve Lacy (ss), Cecil Taylor (p), Buell Neidlinger (b), Dennis Charles (d).Since his first recordings, pianist Cecil Taylor's astonishing performances were marked by such freedom of improvisation that careful, studied listening was required. Cecil, whose staccato burst of phrases and subtle use of motifs always implied a melody line, improvised in a manner which defied description. He was constantly foraging in search of the dynamically fresh in his solos. Steve Lacywho made a stylistic leap in joining Taylor's quartet in their embrace of free jazzis heard here also blowing a new sound through the horn. His soprano had the virility of a tenor and the maneuverability of an alto. These performances make for rewarding listening because of the constant probing and daring of their participants. Tracks: BEMSHA SWING (Monk-West) / CHARGE EM BLUES (Cecil Taylor) / AZURE (Duke Ellington) / SONG (Cecil Taylor) / YOUD BE SO NICE TO COME HOME TO (Cole Porter) / RICK KICK SHAW (Cecil Taylor) / SWEET AND LOVELY (Arnheim-Tobias-Lamare) / JOHNNY COMES LATELY (Billy Strayhorn) / NONAS BLUES (Cecil Taylor) / TUNE 2 (Cecil Taylor)
