Cecil Taylor @ North Sea Jazz Fest, Rotterdam, 10-07-09. You can hear the clicks of idiot so called 'professional' photographers going off throughout this - it seems the qualifications for being an official photographer at jazz fests is to be an inconsiderate arse with no respect for audience of performer.

  • Cecil Taylor is to the piano what Hendrix was to the guitar. Cecil plays it like it were a child's toy. And he's been doing it for a half a century!

  • ...try to do that with keith jarrett!

  • photography is art, but whoever attends jazz festivals knows that MOST "professional photographer" "working" at a festival, are just guys with a good camera.

    it is important to document... but - what the fuck - you guy got a digital camera, why dont you shut the click off!

  • @gsviews

    try to do that harmony and gestures, i bet u would have to practice a lot!

  • @PeterVerduyn photography is an art as well.. And art should never be "useful".. ;-)

    However, I do agree that the camera clicks could, atleast, have been better placed, at high-points in the music or something like that.

  • not as fast as he used to be, for obvious reasons, but sounds like he can still lay down the thick.

  • Tone is malleable; reality, less so. Why do we all have to get old?

  • What a badass. He's a true beacon of the creative impulse.

  • the photographers dont bother me in this movie. in this music.

    the music has dance and thought and spirit in it. he grunts because he is human. expression. but not self conscious precious grunting. and those chords. and those melodies.

    and the dark low. and the harp high. human and celestial. but not all the time. but now.

  • Saw him in Buffalo this past spring in a 2& a half hour mega set...quite a humbling and beautiful experience...and it swings!
