Rabshakeh Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Cecil Taylor - Jumpin' Punkins Back when I was getting into jazz, I bought two of the 1961 CT vault releases. This one and Cell Walk. I wasn't that impressed by them and I went along with the then-prevailing critical consensus that they were lesser works that showed CT constrained by the labels. They also suffer from a slightly old fashioned production sound. On revisiting them for the first time in years, and having listened to a much broader range of jazz in the meantime, they are a bit of a revelation. Not just to hear Taylor comping on standards behind a band, but the way that they represent a path not taken (at least until the later 1970s), where traditional jazz and swing are layered onto free jazz in an exciting and quite visceral way. I can really hear the seeds of great groups like Pullen / Adams on these records. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Pullen took inspiration from them, as the connection seems much more apparent than to Taylor's later performance modes. Quote

I always liked Zigmund with Evans. Underrated IMHO. Quote
