Out of stock

*2024 stock* Cecil Taylor's masterwork is captured on this Japanese CD (reissue of the eponymous album released  on LP in 1973) that dates back to his zenith of performance, when he was pushing the envelope of improvisational music to unprecedented heights of intensity and precision. While Taylor's work in the 1960s was impressive, his performance in the 1970s, and this particular track in particular, is absolutely breathtaking. With a style that may appear chaotic upon initial listen, Cecil's fingers gracefully cascade notes, sounds, and colors, showcasing an incredible grasp of the instrument. A curious note: recording began around two in the morning at Tokyo's Lino Hall.
