@hellofromchieko actually Cecil's first albums feature him playing sentimental songs ie 'standards' --check out JAZZ ADVANCE, LOOKING AHEAD, A.I.R. and NYC R&B. he abandoned that repertoire by '63 but was no stranger to ballads and bop changes . whrere he was always headed though was towards becoming an improviser whose imagination demanded the freedom of symphonies and jazz drumming

@willwelsh816 its just a vase man
its not cecil that needs to change for you.. you have to change for cecil. and then it will make sense. a deeper sense of inquiry is needed.

I felt kind of relieved to see this clip, because Taylor's music is just so advanced, and almost inhumanly genius, but here, although rather eccentric, he is as human and approachable as my music teacher. So in a way, this kind of clip that shows his domestic side is a nice accompaniment to the surreal and otherworldly world of his music. Made me laugh that he was singing and dancing to the sweet sentimental songs that he would never, ever, play on his piano!
