Momento histórico. Por incrível que possa parecer, foi apenas há dias que Cecil Taylor e Anthony Braxton tocaram juntos pela primeira vez. Cecil Taylor Quartet feat. Anthony Braxton, em concerto no Royal Festival Hall, Londres, domingo passado, 8 de Julho de 2007. Passou no Jazz on 3, da BBC Radio 3. Pensando em quem não pôde ouvir, e naqueles que, tendo ouvido, não possuem meios de captação e edição sonora, preparei o set completo (48'37).
Cecil Taylor - piano
William Parker - contrabaixo
Tony Oxley - bateria, percussão
Anthony Braxton - clarinete contrabaixo, saxofones alto, soprano e sopranino
1. Duet - Cecil Taylor / Tony Oxley (00'00-11'10)
2. Quartet - Cecil Taylor / William Parker / Tony Oxley / Anthony Braxton (11'50-48'17)
Agitated, contemplative, percussive and abstract scantily describe the improvising of Cecil Taylor. As a pianist who has been on the leading edge of the avant garde and experimental from the '50s, his performances are compelling for his energetic physical style as much as his inexplicable torrents of sound. He teamed up with William Parker (bass), renowned improv drummer Tony Oxley and (for the very first time) saxophonist Anthony Braxton. An intense and exhilarating evening.
