I'm pretty selective when it comes to improvisational, avant-garde musicians, and Cecil Taylor has had my stamp of approval right from the get go. His solo and band 'freak out' sessions are nothing short of musical magic; a 'happening', if you will. He stands out amidst a plethora of free form jazz musicians as one with a supreme amount of control of insight. I hear a blending of Roger Sessions-esque classical with Ornette Coleman-esque jazz in his works. But that's just me.

The incredible vocabulary he had plus the fearless drive to go deep into where the wind took him and be able to take you there with him made him a force if you were willing to not be bound by listening rules and made him just sound crazy if you were. This is pretty inside the box for him. Orchestrating. I always thought if he wanted to he could play like Hank or Bill or any of those guys. Sure he could! He didn't wanna. Yeeeaa.

About 30 years ago, I was at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago--I was around 19 or 20. A "strange-looking guy" (I thought) came in and stood toward the back during one of the pieces, and I was thinking, "Man, I hope that guy doesn't come over this way." He did, and he stood right behind me till the end of the song, putting his hand on the back of my chair; it made me real nervous. When the song was over, the performer (I think it was maybe Joe Lovano or John Scofield) said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we're honored to have a jazz genius here in the house tonight...Mr. Cecil Taylor." I perked up and looked around to see where he was, and sure enough, it was the guy standing right behind me. I was grossly embarrassed at myself...but it's a moment I'll always hold onto.

I like the papers, glasses and towels sitting on top of the strings. How casual. Most people can't hear the incredible command this man had over the keyboard because they come from western musical ideas of structure, harmony etc. But Cecil played in the same fashion as the abstract expressionists painted. At their respective best, the roots of traditional "classical" technique are foundations for both mediums. And while he could seemingly and effortlessly play exactly what he felt, he did it with such formidable technical prowess and virtuosity, as to be on par with anyone in classical or jazz.

Please people, to understand how this is structured, go to 3:05, and listen for a couple minutes the main chords and melody of this improvisation. Than go back to the beginning. Listen carefully, and you will hear that his improvisation is a "broken period" where he is progressing to that theme/melody (clinging through chaos to the same rhythms and chord progressions), and than afterward it breaks loose again and elaborate in something else, but often nodding at the leitmotiv, just transforming it (forming a new leitmotiv that is a broken-leg version of the previous one, like a cd skip), but he returns to it at the end. Thank you.

There is one seldom mentioned distinction between Cecil's pianism and that of the conservatory trained pianist. Cecils music is not truly contrapuntal, and his phrases show little independence between left and right hand. He is either alternating the hands, or he is playing unions or quasi-parallel lines with both hands at once. Rather than counterpoint in the western sense, in which the pianist splits himself into two voices, Cecil's approach is to bring the both hands and indeed the whole body --- the whole person into a gestural unison. He is rather like a singer in this regard. Cecil does not split himself in two, but commits the whole body to one complete gesture at a time. This makes his music, despite what is often said of its complexity, quite simple in certain respects, and quite easy to follow if one can get beyond its strangeness. Also, when he is not involved in hammering clusters up and down the keyboard his gestures are largely diatonic or blues based.
@LazlosPlane

Christy Winslow Agreed wholeheartedly. However, this should not be considered a "knock" against his playing or music. I have no doubt that if he CHOSE to he could play polyphonically. Jazz is by it's nature, NOT a contrapuntal language of music, generally speaking. Your analogy to the singer is apt: jazz comes out of a vocal aesthetic. It's joy, it's spiritual basis is that of the human voice. Yes, his music is "simple" in the sense that it tends to be more "vertical" than "linear" (God, I'm a blowhard) but the rhythmic homogeneity (I sound like FM radio!) and motivic connections make the music complex, such as it is. Those of us who have studied music to any great degree can compose a fugue rather easily. And let me tell you, you'd never want to hear one of my fugues more that once. And once might be stretching it. Point: there is no inherent superiority to polyphony, just because it is polyphonic. It must also be "Beautiful." And how many classically trained pianists are even schooled in polyphonic improvisation any more? It's a dead art, sadly, and has been so for nearly 100 years.

its hilarious to see endless legions of generic fanboys attempt to dictate what can or can't be written in the comments according to them and their pop gods "I speak for Chick Corea when I say your opinion is shite. If you don't like it, don't watch it" If comments make you shit yourself then why read them. Unless you like to sit around in your own stink which is so superior to everyone elses

I had just heard his group at a theater in the east village --dont remember the place--70's --asked my piano teacher whom I had great respect for about him the next day at which point he proceded to say he couldnt play.He was a briliant modern composer/player but still cant understand his dismissal of this musical force.

music is the language of soul, and this music genre is based (I think) on play what you feel, what you think... Obviously this is not common for many of us, but its music after all. I just have to say that if music is what you feel and whats in your mind, what a rare feelings

If you are trying to understand this music and just can't, or are hating on it for some reason I think you should read this. I'm going to go down a slightly different route here and see if it can do any good. At least for me, a very significant part of the reason why I enjoy this music is because I understand the history behind it. I think this is the case for everyone. For any music that anybody likes, a big part of that is either having lived through the era from which it came (you have first-hand experience from those times), or having some historical knowledge and context behind the music. The style of jazz music, which undoubtedly came out of the 1960s, I think very much represents that time period. It was the time of counterculture, wars, assassinations and civil rights. Music very often reflects the time in which it came from and as far as this style of music goes (not to mention other music from this time period - think of even rock music such as the Stooges or the Velvet Underground), I think the chaos of it beautifully paints a picture of the era and makes me feel like I'm living it, even though it was long before I was born.

The slow section around 3:10 has a definite theme, tonality and structure. It is also quoted and further developed later on in the piece. It would make a worthwhile transcription for further analysis, or even constructing an arrangement for performance.
