paul secor Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Both for Cecil receiving the award and, more importantly, that his health was good enough to journey to Japan and receive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Train Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) His health problems are arthritis in his hand(s) which have lead to cancellations in performing. He's otherwise thankfully healthy. Edited November 16, 2013 by Blue Train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just crossed my mind that there's an 8+ minute duet cut with Cecil Taylor and Tony Williams on the latter's The Joy of Flying album. Years ago, I recall hearing a fairly long set on WKCR from the tapes of this session. There was much more than that cut. It would be great if someone (JLH, possibly?) could release the whole deal. Or perhaps Mosaic could do something. They don't release CD singles anymore, but maybe an LP. I imagine that this music exists somewhere on the internet - probably in not so great sound.

CJ Shearn Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes, I'd like to hear that too. The pairing seems odd because it was so many years since Tony played free like that, but it totally worked in the space of what was chosen for "Morgan's Motion".

erwbol Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for that link to the music, but what was that mentally disturbed barefoot Japanese fellow doing on stage that added anything to the proceedings? http://youtu.be/so9U5Fu4v2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Say what you will, but Min Tanaka is an incredible butoh artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thank you so much for posting this. A completely absorbing and moving performance by both men. Tanaka's dance was astonishing in its fluidity and expressiveness. Taylor's recitation/poetry beguiling and lyrical and the piano playing captivating. I wish I could see such a performance live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I recall that in somewhat younger days, Cecil used to dance prior to, and during performances. So the dance performance at the award ceremony is entirely fitting. besides, Cecil, has been a fan of Japanese performing arts. Check out this link to You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZaPmuXMnDg (Still haven't figured out how to insert the YT vid) Monk used to like to do "weird" (so-called) little dances during performances too.

mjazzg Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has a copy of Cecil Taylor Jazz Unit ‎– The Early Unit 1962. Recorded Golden Circle snd released on Ingo.Seems to me any CT from then has got to be worth hearing but I'm wondering whether the sound quality is an overriding issue. Any opinions gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 It doesn't sound horrible or anything. It's good but I'm not sure it's on the level of the Montmartre sets. It's been a while since I've spun it however, as I find myself returning to the Debut records when I go for that period of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
