Product description

Dive into the avant-garde world of jazz with Cecil Taylor's "The World of Cecil Taylor," a remastered journey into the pioneering spirit of free jazz. This 2022 release, originally recorded in the early 1960s, showcases Cecil Taylor's groundbreaking approach to the piano, pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz and setting the stage for future innovations in the genre. With a blend of free jazz, hard bop, and avant-garde elements, this album is a testament to Taylor's unique vision and technical prowess.

"The World of Cecil Taylor" features a mix of trio and quartet performances, highlighting Taylor's dynamic interplay with fellow musicians, including the legendary tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp. The album's eight tracks, including multiple takes of iconic pieces like "Air" and "Port of Call," offer a deep dive into Taylor's creative process and his ability to reimagine compositions with each performance. From the hauntingly beautiful "This Nearly Was Mine" to the energetic "Number One," each track is a masterclass in improvisation and musical exploration.

Released on the New Jazz Society label, this remastered edition of "The World of Cecil Taylor" is a celebration of Cecil Taylor's enduring influence on jazz. Whether you're a longtime fan of Cecil Taylor or a newcomer to his music, this album is an essential addition to any jazz collection. With a runtime of over an hour, this album invites you to immerse yourself in the rich, complex world of Cecil Taylor's music, where every note tells a story and every performance is a journey of discovery.

This 2023 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

    I concur. Truly amazing. Particularly for the cost! BG knocked it out of the park with the mastering! The pressing is top-notch!

  • Vinyl Noise Overshadows Mastering

    Excellent mastering ruined by excessive vinyl surface noise. I haven't received a honest reissue yet that wasn't troubled by pressing problems. When I compared the LP to high-res digital files, the digital version always sounded superior due to the poor quality pressing.

    Wow, this is truly an outstanding album. I own a well-loved stereo first pressing in VG condition that's been a longtime favorite of mine... I can't quite put my finger on what Bernie Grundman did here, or what the source material was, but they've absolutely nailed this reissue, right down to the thick sleeve. I just spent an afternoon comparing copies, playing one side of my old pressing and then one side of the new pressing (and why not, since this is such a fantastic historical recording, it's the kind of album you can listen to on repeat) and I'm just blown away by the new pressing. No clue where Candid pressed their original records back in the day, but this has always been a particularly beloved album of mine, even in VG... Oh my goodness, this new reissue is a must-have. If you're looking to explore Cecil Taylor's work, this is as good a starting point as any, and you've even got some of the earliest recordings of Archie Shepp here too, and that opening drum figure on side one is one of the best openings on any LP I can recall... You'd think I like this??? Grab one to play and keep one sealed in the back of the cabinet for your grandkids LOL. Easily one of the greatest reissues I've encountered in the past few years.

About Cecil Taylor

Cecil Taylor, born Cecil Percival Taylor, was a pioneering American jazz pianist and poet, renowned for his unparalleled virtuosity and innovative approach to music. Emerging in the mid-'50s, Taylor quickly established himself as one of the most advanced improvisers in jazz, and his radical style continued to evolve over five decades. Known for his nearly overwhelming orchestral facility on the piano, Taylor's performances were characterized by constant motion and restless speed, blending the compositional grandeur of European tradition with an intense, jackhammer-like energy. His collaborations, notably with Jimmy Lyons and Andrew Cyrille, are celebrated as some of the greatest in jazz history. Taylor's legacy as a free jazz and avant-garde pioneer continues to inspire, making him one of the most influential figures in the genre.
