Eccezionale Cecil Taylor, grandissimo Max Roach...ma non è la sua musica

[Aquiles Navarro]

They´re actually not ignoring him. Listen closely, they´re playing off of his speech, text, pitch.

[Robert Sabin]

This performance changed how I hear music. So glad this is here.

[Eve Stoningmoth]

splendid

Funny how Cecil and Max are totally ignoring that announcer guy. Talk about an unnecessary introduction. Good thing the self-congratulatory intro and cheering doesn't go on for too long. Silly college crowd. By 3 minutes in the shock of this avant garde music had pretty much settled in.

wish this was in stereo

Oh, please upload that part of your wedding video on YouTube. I would love to hear some Cecil action at a wedding.

What beautiful lyrical playing from Cecil. And as for Max, well, and they say drummers can't hold a tune??!! I had this transcribed for my wedding, during the signing of the register, although we added a bass part and lyrics for welsh male voice choir. It went down a treat with the congregation, but I think the vicar lost the thread around about the 21/8 section. Perhaps it was just because our players weren't quite of the same standard, or maybe they were still hammered from the stag do.
