CECIL TAYLOR "ROTTERDAM 1967"



This post is for Andy.  He was asking for "Praxis" which will follow as soon as I'm able to replace my corrupted cd-r copy of  the LP.
The music here was never released but it is certainly worth your attention.

The one and only:

Cecil Taylor, piano

1. radio intro         00:06
2. Carmen With Rings   57:55
3. radio outro         00:17

Recorded at 'de Doelen', Rotterdam, Netherlands on July 1, 1967.

    Any solo Taylor is wonderful. Thanks for posting. I may have an mp3 copy of Praxis (from this blog) that I'd be happy to share. Not lossless though.

    I've seen rumours about CT playing with Han Bennink,A/O,around this time, but nothing has ever surfaced,right?

    Thank you Lee for your offer but a lossless version is already on its way to us.
    @ Tazo - as far as I know Bennink played with CT for the first time in Berlin in 1988.
    But who knows what will surface sometime...

    Thanks onx - it is a good one. I thought I'd contribute some Cecil (above) after checking it hadn't already been posted. It's not really my cup of tea but I'm sure someone will appreciate it.
    Thanks too to Anon for the Praxis. Is this the one you mentioned onx?
    I gather the original recording wasn't that great sound quality. The music sounds fresh though - before he got into playing the same old lines.

    Transmuseq would be fine, thanks, Alex. I can rip the Gulda LP.

    Note: Alex's rip of "Praxis" is in fact my original from years ago. I checked it. The LP-side timings are identical, and the Tau Analyzer confirms it is lossless flac.

    @ Tabezo - in the liner-notes to the Taylor/Bennink CD on FMP, Han Bennink writes that he and Willem Breuker were supposed to play with Cecil Taylor in 1967.
    Taylor entered the studio and played the whole day solo. Bennink was just listening.
    Off course it's possible they played later that day or so.

    there are these albums up on my dropbox, any interest for links?
    1. Various - An Afflicted Man's Musica Box 16 44
    ensemble ex improviso - musique en tete 16 44
    Kinothek Percussion Ensemble - adventure 16 44
    Kinothek Percussion Ensemble - Suspense 16 44
    Limpe Fuchs Anima ‎– Via 16 44
    lounge lizards - live from the drunken boat 16 44
    Muslimgauze - Buddhists on fire 16 44
    Various - four french form 16 44

    Trevor Watts Amalgam - closer to you 16 44
    Trevor Watts String Ensemble ‎– Cynosure
    the last two had bought back in 1976 or 77(forgive me for inaccuracy)after the one & only live of T W+Amalgam in Athens(not Georgia) at a cinema for ca.80-100 persons audience . Where is really the poor poster of concert gone?
    that's the story of it & history for Trevor watts & Amalgam.

    I try to make a rip as good as the source is, forgive my gaps.

    Music styles from above are varied but complete the puzzle makes the whole music. Anyway , another of my points of view
    Alex in Solex ,again

    Trans Museq
