Conventional precursors to the multi-layered maelstroms and explosive pianistics to come.

We Say...
You know how thoroughly the early Ornette Coleman freaked out 99 percent of the jazz world? In retrospect, Cecil Taylor's work from that period era sounds more threatening. Though still grounded in conventional forms, these 1961 sides — originally released under bassist Neidlinger's name — certainly point towards the multi-layered maelstroms and explosive pianistics to come (but how could everyone miss the humor evident in "O.P."?). Two pieces are with quartets, including an outgunned Archie Shepp on tenor. The trio "Cindy's Main Mood" is wholly improvised though it sounds well thought out, while sparks fly when four more horns come aboard to help re-imagine the meaning of Ellington's "Things Ain't What They Used to Be."

They Say...
The contents of this rather brief CD, originally released under bassist Buell Neidlinger's name, have since been reissued in the Cecil Taylor/Buell Neidlinger Mosaic box set. Two selections feature a trio with pianist Taylor, bassist Neidlinger and drummer Billy Higgins and one performance adds the young tenor Archie Shepp (and has Dennis Charles in Higgins's place). This music is quite advanced for the period although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; at least one can hear (even in abstract form) his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington. Speaking of the latter, the most intriguing selection is a version of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" that not only has Taylor, Neidlinger, Higgins and Shepp but Steve Lacy on soprano, baritonist Charles Davis, trombonist Roswell Rudd and trumpeter Clark Terry, making for a very interesting mixture of styles.
