Cecil Percival Taylor (March 25, 1929 – April 5, 2018) was an American pianist and poet. Taylor was classically trained and was one of the pioneers of free jazz. His music is characterized by an energetic, physical approach, resulting in complex improvisation often involving tone clusters and intricate polyrhythms. His technique has been compared to percussion. Referring to the number of keys on a standard piano, Val Wilmer used the phrase "eighty-eight tuned drums" to describe Taylor's style

The Eighth ‎(CD, Album, RE). hat ART. hat ART CD 6036. The conversations and interplay between Lyons and Taylor is amazing and this album is one of its best examples. Parker and Bakr more than hold up their end of the bargain. Definitely Cecil in a quartet setting that is top shelf.

Recorded live in West Germany in 1981, THE EIGHTH is an aptly named Cecil Taylor concert. Listened to casually (though it's hard to imagine this music listened to casually), one hears four virtuosi-Taylor on piano, Jimmy Lyons (alto sax), William Parker (bass), and Rashid Bakr (drums)-playing maelstroms of dense music. Closer listening reveals symphonic ambition, mystical leanings, and the magic of numbers.

Cecil Taylor, a pianist who challenged the jazz tradition that produced him and became one of the most bracing, rhapsodic, abstract and original improvisers of his time, died on Thursday at his home in Brooklyn. He was 89. His death was confirmed by his legal guardian, Adam C. Wilner. No cause was given, but friends said he had been in failing health for some time. Mr. Taylor wrote music, led bands and for decades worked, as many jazz musicians do, in nightclubs and at festivals. But from early on he seemed to have much greater goals.

The most divisive album from the original box set follows: Pleistozaen Mit Wasser, which pairs Taylor up with the late British scrape-guitar pioneer Derek Bailey. The first half-hour track features very little piano playing from Taylor: He starts out by accompanying Bailey’s free-improv plucks with poetry (and then various inside-the-piano rubbings). It’s not a disaster, but given the historic meeting between iconic experimenters, it feels underwhelming. Things improve on the second half-hour cut: a stretch of quietly metallic avant-garde music that avoids sounding like well-behaved children.

The Eighth – The Eighth is a live album by Cecil Taylor recorded at 2nd Freiburger Jazztage in Freiburg, Germany on November 8,1981 and released on the Hat Hut label.
