Such an amazing artist. Thank you Domsta for really introducing me to his music

When Mal Waldron was playing with EMBRYO at "Schlachthof", Munich, I took Bobby Battle (January 8, 1944 - December 6, 2019 in Detroit) over there and he sat in for Dieter Servas. What a great drummer he was!!!

This must be from the record..not live

The most influential pianist of the last fifty years, and one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time..... Had the opportunity to watch him at work over ten times, outstanding genius.

I can copy some of the things that are more basic to McCoy's style of playing. Yet I wouldn't dare try to play outside or atonally - it would sound like nonsense. McCoy can play outside and atonally and it sounds like music

Some of his most exciting and adventurous recordings began with McCoy's 1968 record dates with Blue Note all the way up through his work with Milestone. This is definitely from that period. It's enrapturing.

SONNY payne?

Simon get's the gold medal here.

I have this Double Album, it's by far Sun Ra and his Arkestea at its best. Checkout the Tenor Sax player John Gilmore, how could anyone with any musical acumen claim Michael Brecker as the next Coltrane, yet overlooking Gilmore and Frabk Lowe. Any fans of Sun Ra that doesn't have this performance in their collection, I sincerely hope you can find it; it's a jewel of musical pleasure.

BANG!!! Billy Bang was a colossal Meteorite that struck the planet with phenomenal joy!

One must remember that he is only 76 years of age

??? 다들 이 연주가 훌륭하다고 생각하는거지?

I hope a lot of young people see Wilson Pickett and Motown

My Favourite jazz musician. I love his way of playing. I love his improvisation its is very original. RIP Cecil Taylor 🙏 You are a legend.

SUN RA FOREVER !!!!!!!!! 😎👾🌕🌛🌜 X O

These be the ladies of the Blues! I feel fortunate to have seen this video! Too cool! Not only is the music legendary their costumes rock too! Amen, Praise be the Blues Women!

exceptional fabulous fantastic clark terry und muddy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So beautiful! And I'm so happy to see after all these years that there is film of these performances. Montereux 1 & 2 were albums I listened to constantly back when they were new!

This is some bad shit here...straight up! Thank you to "crownpropeller" for posting this on CZcams also...man! This is where it's at! I'm just curious also-is this exact version on cd? Not a studio version, which might be just as good, but this exact live version, because I'm not familiar with the tune; anyway, I'm so glad I found this tonight-way to go, Mr./Mrs. CP... P.S.-Just found(and heard)the original version-on an album called "AFT"; it's nice also, but I think this live version has a little edge over the studio version, but the studio version is very nice also and I think I will purchase this lp/cd! P.S. No. 2-Just heard another studio version of this tune, by Brackeen; not like the first studio version I just heard minutes ago-will be careful to purchase the first and not the second studio version I heard! 8-17-24.

Although I'm not a fan of the avant-garde genre, I still think it is apparent that Cecil Taylor was a genius-perhaps like no other of his-or any other generation, before, during or since! And he was definitely, an exceptionally gifted pianist! And for the record-did he ever record an album, playing jazz in a strictly "straight-ahead" context? For years I thought it was true of Eric Dolphy, that he never made an album playing straight-ahead jazz-until I found a series of LPs he made from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, showing he not only played straight-ahead, but was as good as the best of them, during that period! Would like to know is the same true of Cecil Taylor; did he ever record an album in the straight-ahead genre? I think it would be a gas to find out he did! And-from just hearing the first couple of minutes of this video, I could be wrong about it, but although the majority of the context of the music could be rightly defined as "avant-garde", I think what Taylor does in this performance also goes beyond being considered merely, "avant-garde". P.S.: And I could be wrong about it, but it appears from the no. of recordings I've heard by Taylor, he sounds best when he plays without horns-or perhaps even a rhythm section; as crazy and as self-defeating as that would be perhaps for most artists, it appears to be true for Taylor! P.S. No. 2: I would've also loved to have seen or heard this brilliantly gifted pianist, during his lifetime, write or compose scores for film and/or television; his music in retrospect seemed naturally suited for such endeavors as orchestration! 8-16 & 17-24.

ShooBeeDoo (Reginald Fields) once remarked to me "Black men are the treasures of the universe". I assert womb- men (women) are too. Let's bring out the ancestors gifts. Appreciation for our allies who recognize and help this music survive. So glad this was recorded.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dixie killed the ballads the soul and feeling he put into it rivals no one Richard lake county, California

still love his work!!

Oh man, I only discovered this album a month ago and had no idea this video was out there. Freakin' awesome!

I love Jazz piano, the coding keyboard to the genius of the un·con·scious. Math, percusion beauty. Truly the the best of humanity.

At 10:14 he quotes the great songwriter Judee Sill

❤💪🌠!!!

I was there, Alphonze is a killer even better than Tony Williams, love those vertical cymbals.

😂Ч😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is simply NOT possible to get any cooler than this playing !!!!

To slim galliard the whole world was just one big orooni.

Melvin Gibbs from Harriet Tubman on bass, Zane Massey (Cal’s son) sax, Vernon Reid of course.

Jesus rose is my favorite! I have it on my Spotify!!!

My man

Precious

truly brilliant. I'm very grateful for this posting. Saw him once in 1984. unforgettable

Basie was a really good pianist. His skills as a bandleader were obviously legendary but I think his piano skills are often underrated, The man's timing was simply unavailable. He and Freddie Green are the reason why that rhythm section was ( and in my opinion is still) the best ever!

He was what homeless people should be.

On fire 🎉.... In the way.... ✳️🦐🦐🌀🌀👉

Did he actually know how to play the piano does anybody know? Besides his chaotic style do you think he knows how to play other peoples songs and stuff?

Mouson connects perfectly with Tyner , Lawrence is great and even greater when you consider he is only 21 here, and Booth plays beautifully. A creative peak indeed

Fantástico, muito bom

Cedar's solo was the best one, trombone solo was the worst. But nobody really was outstanding.

McCoy and his famous left-hand hammer: wow, what a fantastic tour de force!

This is the Basie band.
