Cecil Taylor, Tony Oxley - Conversations With Tony Oxley (Live) (2018)

The producer and concert organizer Ulli Blodel, founder of the Jazzwerkstatt house, remembers the great American pianist who recently died: «Cecil Taylor, who died on April 5, 2018 in his Brooklyn, had a style that distinguished him from any other musician. With Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) in the 60s he began to develop a music dominated by the staccato and the cluster that later we would have known by the name of free jazz. This piano icon always began his concerts softly, slipping to the instrument, muttering the lyrics to himself, almost dancing, until the full force of his style made the unique power of music resonate. "

"Cecil Taylor Conversations with Tony Oxley" proposes the live recording of one of the last concerts of the brilliant pianist that took place on February 20, 2008 at the Kammermusiksaal of the Philharmonie Berlin, alongside the British drummer Tony Oxley.

"Cecil Taylor Conversations with Tony Oxley" is an unmissable opportunity to enjoy an intriguing musical conversation between two great performers who together give the listener a dazzling show, full of ideas that come fast and furious, a performance that stuns with his pyrotechnics beauty.
