5.0 out of 5 starsPeak Cecil solo disc, in the studio....
By Thomas Plotkin on August 8, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Avant garde jazz nirvana. I wrote a review on this forum a while ago saying "Silent Tongues" was the first CD one should check out if you were curious about the forbidding oeuvre of Cecil Taylor, but this is another great place to start if you are a Cecil novice, and it's essential if you love Cecil solo. (Cecil Taylor, for those who do not know, is the founding father of Free Jazz, pianist, born c. 1930, who threw out the window song forms, countable time, traditional swing, the pentatonic scale, the 12 bar blues and all the other hallmarks of jazz observed even by revolutionary contemporaries like Trane and Ornette, in favor of founding his own boundless, noisy, but ecstatic idiom). Recorded in fall, 1980, at the MPS/Pausa studio in Germany for the small Polygram-distributed GDR label of that name, Fly!...etc. is noteworthy for a few reasons. First, by my reckoning, it's the last officially released Cecil album hitherto only available in its original vinyl incarnation to be released on CD. (Not counting the recent limited edition vinyl-only Oxley duet lp). Second, it is one of the very few instances of Cecil solo recordings made in the studio, and both the original LP and this tremendous remaster captures every nuance of the sounds CT draws from the 97-key Boesendorfer piano with extraordinary clarity and presence.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperlative Solo Jazz Piano from a True Master
By Dean Robb on August 21, 2012
Format: Audio CD
Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! is a masterwork from a true original. I have owned the LP version of Fly! since the mid-80's. Fly! is a mature work of art from a true master of the art. Unlike many, perhaps most, of Taylor's 1990's solo concert recordings, which move moutains, Fly! is more like the contemplative reflections of a master upon questions of life and death, cycles and changes, and ancient spiritualities. Large swaths of the music are highly lyrical in their reflectiveness, and this aura of reflection makes Fly! (almost) downright accessible in its lyrical sense of space, ruminative exploration, and transparency. You can practically hum along with the first track, entitled "T(Beautiful Young'n." Of course, in a Cecil Taylor recording, the sense of lyrical reflection can only last so long. No different here. The last track "Rocks Sub Amba" gets back into the essential Taylor approach of moving mountains, of thunderous and extremely powerful key-busting, and just generally raising hell. You really have to love it.

Also: the recording quality is superb - warm, yet totally clear. And Taylor's recordings that are well-recorded do a much better job of revealing his musical intentions.

5.0 out of 5 starsAngular, Surprisingly Lyrical Work Shouldn't Be Missed
By Disink on April 3, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Trying to consider where to start with Cecil Taylor is a bit like trying to name the best Duke Ellington phase to start with: do you jump to the Webster/Blanton band? The mid-30's Brunswick tracks? Just start with "East St. Louis Toodle-oo?" Ellington At Newport 1956? With Taylor, you can start at the beginning with Jazz Advance, you can start with the reconsideration of soloing and composition with Unit Structures, or you can go straight to the solo work of Silent Tongues.Or go here. Though this may not have changed the ears of the jazz world like some of those earlier works, it is a wonderful road in. Taylor was at peace in Europe, getting to play a fantastic piano and being treated like the talent he was, as opposed to banging on a barely tuned piano at a dying club in Copenhagen (I might add, the albums that feature that are among his best, too.) Here he constructs a suite of songs around an angular line (introduced in "T") that continues to be re-framed throughout. There are moments of genuine tranquility that lead to the more familiar stabs and jabs and culminate in a crashing wave of contrasting notes. It makes you think, it puts you at peace, and it's finally available, after years and years of waiting, with a terrific remaster. If you already love (or even just like) Taylor, go here immediately. If you're starting, why not start here? You get the pure piano and nearly an hour of uninterrupted paths. I swear it can make you feel like flying.
