djcavanagh Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks Margaret - that would be why I haven' received a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've always thought I should like Cecil Taylor and I've tried alot of the stuff mentioned in this thread. The only thing that has worked for me is the Feel Trio. I think it is because of Tony Oxley. To me, he really compliments Taylor perfectly. Maybe I can find the duo album mentioned on the previous page. At least if I don't have to give up an arm or leg. Have you heard "Silent Tongues"? It has been my experience that it is the one Cecil Taylor album that many people find immediately accessible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hopefully the duo recordings with Bill Dixon will see the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't listened to it for a long time but don't remember liking it much. Honestly, that may have been partially due to the condition. Maybe I should give it another go. Thanks.

Alexander Hawkins Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just stumbled across this link - which includes a couple of fascinating interview transcriptions with Andrew Cyrille and Tony Oxley about Cecil and his music...

Thanks for the link. Really enjoyed reading this. 'European speculative improv community' I bet Stanley Crouch would love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 You can stream a little bit of the rare Nicaragua No Pasaran bootleg LP over at Destination:Out if you're so inclined. Scarce LP - never owned a copy - but the performance sounds, from what I can tell, like a fine one. Also, for the streaming or the downloading, is an archival/unreleased FMP orchestra session that I haven't gotten to just yet, but it looks impressive.

Fly! = 5 Flies Apparently it is a real restaurant, however. I'm not sure I'd want to use flies to help advertise a food service venue though.

Valeria Victrix Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've always thought I should like Cecil Taylor and I've tried alot of the stuff mentioned in this thread.

Maybe I can find the duo album mentioned on the previous page. At least if I don't have to give up an arm or leg. There's a CD titled 'Leaf Palm Hand' of them that is not very expensive and it's also very good. I think Jazzloft and the usual suspects have it. Amazon has it for $12.43: http://www.amazon.com/Leaf-Palm-Cecil-Taylor-Oxley/dp/B00119UA9A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304530249&sr=8-2 Hey I love this album! One of my favourites from the towering Berlin set. Cecil and Tony really have a rapport, which arguably came to full fruition in the Feel Trio. Extraordinary, stellar music! Btw, I listened to Fly! x5 recently and it's a beautiful album, basically a series of miniatures compared to the usual titanic extravaganzas. A bit like a full album of those 'postcripts' he uses to wind down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Does anyone have the new edition of Fly! (X5) yet? I'm guessing the sound is good. I'm looking forward to getting this eventually. What does Schlippenbach have to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I know we're not linking boots/etc. so I won't do that here, but I am curious if anyone' s heard the 1971 Town Hall solo concert that's recently been put out on CD. Saw a used copy and was curious if it's worth picking up (therefore avoiding paying the bootleggers) or if the sound is abominable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is bad, but fighting through it I heard some motifs in his playing that I wasn't familiar with, so I think it's worth the plunge.

Chuck Nessa Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 With a gazilion hours of well recorded Cecil Taylor (I have more than I will ever listen too and I love Cecil and hope to issue a cd by him) are you intrigued by a boot?

Chuck Nessa Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have had a concert recording with Lyons, Sirone and Cyrille scheduled for release since the late '70s. Things always seem to get in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
