This is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing.
Love Cecil Taylor. Thank you very much for this post!
Beautiful project, much appreciated.
AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!
I had no idea anyone recorded this!!
I tried downloading part 2 of the mp3 file and it seemed like it wasn't working. i had an error when i tried unpacking it.
Thanks so much for this, and for this incredible blog!
thanks a lot
but part2 and 3 seem corrupted in the mp3? i can't seem to unpack them without an error popping up
looks fantastic, riccardo - thanks!
INCREDIBLE!, Thanks so much to both you and your friend!

I haven't had a chance to download/listen to this, but is it possible that the saxophonist is Charles Gayle? I saw Moore and Rashied Ali at the Cooler that year (I think it was the March 1 show) and Gayle was scheduled to play but didn't.
Yes, terrific indeed, thanks Riccardo!
@ matt w
"its me w/ jackson krall and tom surgal - drums - and dominic duval - bass --- we played one set together one night and some horrible sax player bum rushed the stage and played w/ us stopping cecil from joining in - the next night we played again together w/out the fucked sax player and cecil did indeed join us 20 minutes into the meal. video exists of both nights in total - but they are not "circulated".
The tape that circulates is from the first night, without Cecil. The sound quality on that tape isn't so great, either. No known tapes circulate of the 2nd night, with Cecil." T.Moore
Hi Ric,
for me the downloading, MP3,is ok

Great stuff, thanks! Looking forward to the TMoore w CT set!!
Thanks for this (and all the others). Unfortunately having issues with sets 1&2 parts 2 and 5, FLAC, both "terminate unexpectedly" and stop everything except the credits unpacking.
For unpacking you need ALL the flac files : from 1 to 6.

Thanks again for the big effort and the gigantic music
Is there any way of getting this in MP3 form? Could someone poerhaps send it to me in a compressed file in they have it in Mp3?
@ last anonymous
all the four sets are posted in MP3 format(!)
A monster! Thank you so much!
I can only download one rapidshare a day. Would it be possibly to post in something like megaupload?
i'm a bit late coming to this but THANK YOU! i have been looking for this historic show for years. i was there.
in a similar vein, has anyone ever seen copies of Cecil and Derek Bailey at Tonic in NYC in 2000?
i have searched far and wide for this too--their only other appearance together is on the FMP box set.
THANK YOU for this amazing blog
Thanks so much. Amazing!
Lovely!
THX!!!
@Hookfinger
After downloading from rapidshare just shut down your modem/router and after some seconds fire it up again. That is how i fool their server.
I manged to obtain Cecil taylor's 2nd act of A.

Thank you Robert! Really appreciate your help!
That's what I call collaboration...:-)
Robert, thank you, i actually downloaded most if not all of it , gave it cursory listen , thinking fuck, not another lousy quality CT boot in shitty syrupy remastered sound, it seemed to get muddier as the sets progressed too... so i deleted it all in a fit of pique...
And here's the final set - 2nd set on October 4 - for the sake of completeness. Thanks to Arc@theMountainhub.
Mega
Could some kind soul make this whole set available again in FLAC?
Thanks in advance!
