It takes a certain level of intelligence to get whats going on here.

i little bit out of synch, but absolutely awesome. Love the duo Cecil/Lester, from 2:35 on

To break the rules youve got to learn them first.

I like it, but it does stretch the ear. The tune isn't as abrasive as many would assume, there's definitely melody, harmony, and rhythm here. It does swing as well, and I'm saying this as an avid Basie and Ellington fan. There's something hidden in this music, just a matter of being willing to search for it. It's not a matter of intelligence, intelligence is a farce. I hated Cecil's stuff when I first started to listen to him and now he's growing on me.

check out LEO ORNSTEIN (clusterphobia at its best) CECIL'S ROOTS LAY DEEP IN THIS COMPOSER'S Early 20th century writing

hence JS BACH still does it in a profound way

Cecil, a great musician, is reflecting on the early 20th century musicians whose music was the roots of what we know as Avant Garde Jazz for those of you who want some inspirational elements the likes of Cecil Taylor CHECK OUT LEO ORNSTEIN
