That's a very intriguing collection of musicians. How often are they all on the same track, if at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 never owned the LP set but would grab it if I saw it in a shop. Sides B and C you get the Surman Trio, Mangelsdorff, Gulda and Taylor all in the same room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 yeah, haven't heard it in ages and don't remember being as into it at the time, but then again I was less into European improvisers when I started listening.

Homefromtheforest Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I used to own it twice. First time I did not really get into it and sold it only to buy it again a few years later. My opinion was not much different so I got rid of it again. Great players but the end result is a bit messy and the slightly murky recording quality does nr help matters.

clifford_thornton Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 okay, so that stands with my admittedly murky early opinion. But I'd still nab one if I saw it for a cheap price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corto maltese Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 The German issue is actually quite common and generally not expensive. The Austrian (and I think original) issue is a bit harder to find. I probably like the music more than HFTF does, despite some inevitable longueurs typical for a concert recording. As far as I remember, the recording quality is decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicmargaret Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 "So did anyone go to the Whitney retrospective?" I'm not sure whether you mean anyone from this group (seems that a lot of them never go anywhere) or whether you meant anyone in the world. Just in case you meant the latter, I asked performance curator Amanda Davis about this, and she said attendance for Cecil Taylor and Tony Oxley was 750 (all tickets sold out), and average attendance for all other events, of which there have been many, sometimes a half-dozen a day, has been around 300. "Second concert now scheduled" is a solo Cecil Taylor concert tonight (April 23rd) at 8:30 p.m. Not sure what "I saw an article on Cecil's appearance at the retrospective, but that was it for me" means, but if you're referring to a perceived lack of press coverage, if you do a Google search on "Cecil Taylor residency Whitney Museum," almost 7,000 links come up, including "JazzTimes," "Jazziz," "The Wire," a lovely article by Larry Blumenfeld on his blog, blouinartinfo.com, brilliantly entitled "Storming Places, Like He's Always Done," "The New York Times," "BeatDown" [oops], and as the King of Siam used to say, et-cetera, et-cetera, et-cetera.
