Hardbopjazz Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Cecil Taylor will play at this club in June. I do plan on going. This is a new venue to me. I'm curious about this club. Anyone here ever been to this club? http://www.lepoissonrouge.com/events/search?q=cecil+taylor Quote
Peter Johnson Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Love it. Many thanks for the heads up--have wanted to see Cecil for years. Quote
LWayne Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Caught Cecil Taylor with Tony Oxley at the Village Vanguard a couple of years ago. Any performance by Cecil is truly an "event" not to be missed. Very viscerally demanding set, but sublime nonetheless. LWayne Quote
sonnymax Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Shit! He's performing on four consecutive Tuesdays, and I'll be in the City Wednesday through Sunday during one of those weeks. Why do the gods vex me so!!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Shit! He's performing on four consecutive Tuesdays, and I'll be in the City Wednesday through Sunday during one of those weeks. Why do the gods vex me so!!! Your turn to vex the gods. Quote
sonnymax Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Shit! He's performing on four consecutive Tuesdays, and I'll be in the City Wednesday through Sunday during one of those weeks. Why do the gods vex me so!!! Your turn to vex the gods. I shall do what a 10-year-old client of mine once did at school. He got permission to use the bathroom, and when he returned, he was wearing his clothes backwards (i.e., buttons and fly in the back, shoes on the opposite foot). This alarmed the teacher and his mother so much that they insisted I have a serious talk with him. Our conversation was short and to the point. I asked him if what they said was true. He nodded, "yes". I then said, "Did you put all of your clothes on backwards?" He took a few seconds, and with a sly grin he replied, "Well, not all of them". Convinced that he had exercised proper foresight and taken the necessary precautions to guard against (very) personal injury, I proudly announced, "You sir, are a genius!" So be forewarned all ye on Mount Olympus, for this very day I shall don my garments retrograde and contrariwise in defiance. Be so vexed! Quote

Why do the gods vex me so!!! Me too, dammit - going for 4 nights of the Vision Festival beginning Wednesday, May 8. Le Poisson Rouge is a big place but it was packed for Braxton last year. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 I saw both the Braxton 65th b-day tribute and ICP @ Le Poisson Rouge and it is a very nice place to see and hear some great music. I will choose a Tuesday and get there early to get right up front for Cecil. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Cecil canceled the 4 shows he had scheduled at this club. I went by yesterday to but tickets and I was told the shows were canceled. Hope all is well with Cecil. Quote
7/4 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 I knew that about the club, but I hope CT is OK. Crap. Quote
paul secor Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Been thinking about Cecil over the past few days. Hope all's well with him. Quote
