Playlist, Week of 2022-09-11

I love Cecil Taylor's music from all decades of his life, but I find myself drawn to the '50s and 60's, especially Unit Structures and Conquistador!... hell, that's not even true, I love it all... I love the boundary-breaking versions of standards on his first albums, I love the early solo work of the '70s, I love the Unit with Ronald Shannon Jackson, I love the '80s quartet with Jimmy Lyons, I love the duos with Tony Oxley in the 2000s.... this is some major work that requires years of study... pleasurable, life-sustaining, pulsating study... I haven't come to the terms yet with the fact that he's no longer with us...
