Cecil Taylor - Paris 1966 (Student Studies bonus tracks)

Cecil Taylor Unit
Salle 105, Maison de l'ORTF, Paris (FR)
November 30, 1966 

Jimmy Lyons - alto sax
Cecil Taylor - piano, percussion
Alan Silva - bass 
Andrew Cyrille - drums

1. Bread, Wine, Lover, and Love (Taylor) 21:14
2. Over There (Taylor) 19:20

TT: 40:34
Source: ORTF radio


Notes:

Incomplete show.

A European "commercial release" (Cecil is probably seeing nothing from this release.), "The Great Paris Concert", has released other parts of this show.  This portion does not include any of this. 

The commercial release is known as "Student Studies". "The Great Concert" was from 1969 (with Rivers instead of Silva, and from St. Paul de Vence, instead of Paris)

Thanks to all those who share these ROIOs and keep the stuff floating around!

Cecil Taylor r.i.p. - re-post: Berlin 1969

In memory of Cecil Taylor, I'm bringing back this splendid 1969 live recording from Berlin - straight re-up, just newly packed into a RAR.


Cecil Taylor Unit: Taylor, Lyons, Rivers, Cyrille
Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence, France, July 1969















... a lengthy set by the Cecil Taylor Unit of 1969 that included Jimmy Lyons, Andrew Cyrille and the late, great Sam Rivers. Not sure if this is the complete show or if something has been edited out ... but at more than 60 minutes, I guess it could well be the whole enchilada.

"...the 45:++ from radio broadcast is - most probably - the closing section of the performance. There is another radio broadcast 15:45 with something like the first section, and there seems to be a missing link between these broadcasted parts -some say the gap is but a few minutes, others say it might be more, up to 25:00 - I don't know, I only have the two broadcast fragments, and it seems most likely no private audience tape of this concert exists." --H.
