Product Details

Taylor's 1960 Candid sessions arrived at a pivotal moment, just as free jazz was beginning to fracture the assumptions of what the piano could do in a small group context. His partnership here with a young Archie Shepp, still years from his own breakthrough, makes this a document of two visionaries crossing paths early, each pushing the other toward something genuinely uncharted.

CD reissue. The World of Cecil Taylor is an album by Cecil Taylor recorded for the Candid label in October 1960. The album features performances by Taylor with Archie Shepp, Buell Neidlinger and Denis Charles. Some of the tracks the pianist chose to release on this album were improvised, single-take pieces, while others were the result of multiple takes.
