Listen to Cecil Taylor audio clips
An enduring and uncompromising figure of the jazz avant-garde, pianist/
composer Cecil Taylor is widely acknowledged as one of the three pioneering
jazz titans (with John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman) of Free Jazz. He is one
of the few musicians in any genre to explore the full tonal range of the keyboard,
and his ferocious playing and rhythmic acuity are trailblazing. Using piano
as percussion, his sheer physicality often finds him addressing the keyboard
with open palms, elbows, and forearms, yet he is just as likely to investigate
the many shadings of "piano." A Cecil Taylor concert is an unprecedented event.
