This is FANTASTIC. What a master of the piano. Every note is totally calculated and perfectly executed.

did he ever play with his own group, or someone elses's or has he always been a solo artist? Is he in the musical school of say Ornette Coleman? Or Arnold Schoenberg?

He had at least one group, the Cecil Taylor Unit, and he often played with others such as the art ensemble of Chicago. I believe he was pretty much a jazz artist, but the tone clusters and some other stuff were probably influenced by modern classical.

God, I love the way he uses tone clusters, so dissonant but melodic at the same time. Makes me want to pick up keys, much harder to do them on a guitar (not impossible, just cumbersome)

You could always re-tune the guitar.

true true, I've tried that tuning the strings within a half step of each other it sounds amazing. I still find it hard to incorporate them into my actual playing though.

I saw him a few years ago in Battery Park concert series. I almost fell out of my chair. He was such a powerful performer.
