We get requests... I received one from Karonner Franz asking to re-up the Cecil Taylor/Evan Parker/Barry Guy/Tony Oxley track 'Last' from the live album 'Nailed,' recorded in Berlin in 1990, posted last March. While I am sorting out the mp3's for later today – here it is... A monster of a performance – I wrote about it originally here so won't repeat myself – except to say that Evan more than holds his own with the Mighty Cecil. And to repeat the quote at the top of that post:
"'To play with Cecil Taylor you need the stamina of an athlete and the imagination of a god.' (Tony Oxley – from the booklet accompanying the cd).
And one final quote, from a review by Derek Taylor here...
'Those searching for conclusive and irrefutable evidence of free improvisation as high art need look no further.'
Enjoy... this track will be deleted within 7 days – along with most of the other long tracks on SaveFile as I am in the process of doing some long-overdue file maintenance.
Cecil Taylor Quartet
(Cecil Taylor (p); Evan Parker (ss); Barry Guy (b); Tony Oxley (d) ).
