Cecil Taylor Unit: The Eighth
by Chris May
Half man and half force of nature, pianist Cecil Taylor has made his music a mass of opposites and contradictions. Simultaneously exhausting and liberating, primeval and space age, visceral and intellectually rigorous, it's like nothing that went before it and precious little that came afterward. As revolutionary a stylist as Charlie Parker and John Coltrane combined, ...
