    Bologna

    From what I understand, the Bologna engagement of 12th October 07 was scheduled as a Taylor/Braxton duo. Punters at the Teatro Communal were treated to W Parker both playing a solo in the 1st set, and joining AB & CT to make trio music, after the break.
    This was the gig that Mr Taylor did his much-discussed "walkout" from mid-tune, to effectively end the concert.
    I wouldn't download it though for 'controversy value' - you'll probably be disappointed.
    It must just be worth downloading for the music though...

    Rundown:
    1. Taylor announcing program
    2. Taylor reads 2 poems
    3. Braxton Solo (alto)
    4. Parker Solo
    5. Taylor Solo
    6. Trio

    Sound quality: fantastic
    Format: MP3 (Have no flacs)
    Thanks: hamhen

    Sorry to be a pain, but was the Reggio Emilia gig 31st October or 13th October? The question arose earlier here, but both dates are still being given.

    glmlr - from the sponsoring cultural organisation's site:

    " "R e g g i o E m i l i a
    sabato 13 ottobre - ore 21 - Teatro Valli
    > CECIL TAYLOR HISTORICAL QUARTET (Stati Uniti, Inghilterra) PRIMA ITALIANA
    Cecil Taylor pianoforte
    Anthony Braxton sax alto, soprano, sopranino, clarinetto contrabbasso
    William Parker contrabbasso
    Tony Oxley batteria, percussioni "
    (from http://www.aaa-angelica.com/)

    Wonder why Cecil felt the need to call it his 'HISTORICAL QUARTET' ..

    Looking aroound after some time. I'm amazed about the taylor braxton posts here.

    Mr. seviceton is right: oct 12th was scheduled as a duo concert (world premiere!)

    mr. glmlr: please look here:
    http://www.aaa-angelica.com/next.asp
    All the dates given are right. And they did only one set in Reggio. All they have played was posted here.

    some evidence (only a pic):
    http://rapidshare.com/files/96115221/tickets_oct_2007

    Usually i don#t read the comment carefully. but this time i did. the controversial opinions about the artistic worth of these concerts are surprising to me.
    But, in fact, i'm a bit at a loss about it. It happende to me, that i could visit the Bologna and Reggio Emilia concerts. Both concerts didn't fulfill my expectations. In B. I expected a duo concert, and I got some solos and an abrupt ending trio. In RE I expected the historical quartet and got "the Feel Trio with Anthony Braxton being on stage" (the words of an acquaintance). My overwhelming impression was a long married (almost 20 years) couple - or menage a trois ;) - who did their long known talking and didn't let space for a stranger.

    Don't misunderstand me: I'm aware of the special character of this kind of music. It depends in large parts on the moment. And the musicians here are great artists with big egos. It was a chance they caught in London, but not in Italy last year. Nevertheless I am glad, I could listen to their music.

    Thanks to all the posters, especially for the broadcasts. I am a kind of collector, too, but it is not fun to listen only to "documents" instead of professional recordings.

    So, have a good time, and I shall listen to recording instead of document.

    By the way, monuments in Bologna (Europe's oldest university) are for university teachers and not for warriors. That must have been a plaesure for Mr. Braxton ...

    ok, I was too late. thank you for the enlightenment, serviceton.

    but in London earlier that year it has been a "Histoical Quartet", I suppose.

    - and thanks from me, too! just giving this (bologna) a listen now.

    all this business of dates etc has got a bit confusing - i'm glad it got sorted out here so i didn't have to try and figure it out myself ;-)

    braxton, dolphy and streisand eh? well, stick to the first two and there will be plenty of interest round here - the third one, you may not be entirely alone but i daresay you find yourself in a minority!

    Sh*t! I've only just now realised that I've contributed partially (or is it totally?) to the confusion about the *date* of this. I've just looked at what I typed originally
    ""To recap: it's Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, William Parker and Tony Oxley - Reggio Emilia -31st October 2007." "

    ....well that's not a very good "recap"... it's wrong

    Brainfade is my only excuse for muddying the waters by writing "31st" instead of "13th".
    Apologies to those that this has puzzled or vexed.

    Oh, and what a beautiful pic of Pops & Babs top of the mainpage this evening. And what a fine motion picture it was..

    cheers to y'all !

    Does anyone know if the recent Cecil Taylor concerts last februari in Berlin, Gent and in Austria (Zurich?) have been recorded, any FM recordings?
    Thanks for the Italian concerts.

    I've heard the Berlin and Vienna 2008 concerts, (audience recordings), and I was not very impressed. Poor sound, and sluggish performances.

    I have high hopes for this one. I've always wanted to see Cecil Live. Just saw Braxton last weekend with John Zorn and Karl Berger as well.
    Hopefully Cecil will drop by NYC in the near future.
