Cecil Taylor was a visionary pianist and one of free jazz's most fearless architects, reshaping what improvisation could mean in 1960s jazz. This 1963 performance captures him live in Copenhagen, in the early days of his radical experimentation with atonal, high-velocity piano playing. Rather than conventional harmony or rhythm, Taylor constructed intricate, almost orchestral textures from his instrument alone—imagine classical complexity filtered through bebop intensity and avant-garde fearlessness. "Trance" and the extended closing suite "D Trad, That's What" demonstrate his uncompromising vision. This isn't background music; it demands attention and rewards it with glimpses of a musician fundamentally reimagining what jazz could be. An essential document of 1960s experimental jazz.
