Uh, oh! You either don't have the Flash plug-in installed, or you have it disabled.
Otherwise, there'd be a cute lil' streaming audio player on the left, rather than this message.
Cecil Taylor
Live in the Black Forest
LP
(Pausa Records, 1979)
Man, sometimes a bit of good, blasting free jazz is just what I need. Today's man of the . . . um . . . day, Cecil Taylor was outed as gay in 1982 by critic Stanley Crouch, who apparently asserted that Cecil couldn't play piano properly because he is gay. Uhhhh . . . whatever. Cecil is a genius and Stanley is just a critic. Nuf said.
The Players:
- Cecil Taylor - piano
- Raphé Malik - trumpet
- Jimmy Lyons - alto saxophone
- Ramsey Ameen - violin
- Sirone - bass
- Ron Jackson - drums
Recorded June 3rd, 1978 in SWF-Radio JazzConcert in Kirchzarten/Black Forest/West Germany
NOTA BENE: I've taken the liberty of excising the applause that follows the performance so I could keep the file size under 20MB (my MP3 host's size limit) while keeping the bit-rate as high as possible (112kbps).
1 biased opinion:
ok, that has to be the oddest thing ever. he cant play well cause he's gay? sigh some people....
