Listening to the album over and over on Tidal and finally decided to buy it.
Two hours of escapism, amazing solos and improv sections.
Perfect. TomerEitan
There is a classical grandeur to Taylor’s playing here, spinning gothic arches of sound that never stop rising to the heavens even as they push up undaunted through Oxley’s richly textured hailstorms of percussion. Many delicate moments which Oxley lets breath, bracketing them elegantly. Some of Cecil’s most accessible moments of glittering beauty. A Beethoven’s power, a Scriabin’s poetry, a Messiaen’s colour, a Prokofiev’s playfulness, but all Cecil Taylor. Very good recording quality. SlithyToves
