Always nice to return to Area... what a strange, wonderful, incredibly tight band they were... Nice to hear Alex Ward on the new Pere Ubu record... his clarinet fits in nicely... Still coming to terms with Cecil Taylor's Hard Driving Jazz, his only session with John Coltrane... Cecil's "comping," if you can call it that, is so dark and brooding... hearing Coltrane soar over that dark piano accompaniment is strangely satisfying... one can only imagine how it would have worked if Cecil's original choice for trumpet, Ted Curson, had been present... instead we get the fusty and uninteresting Kenny Dorham... who is fine in the right context, but this ain't it... still, I am happy this album exists, if only to highlight how much Cecil needed Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray in 1957...
