Description
This important solo recording by piano giant Cecil Taylor was originally recorded in 1980 for the legendary MPS label and is finally released on CD for the first time. Performed on a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand Piano, Taylor joined a distinguished list of pianists (including Oscar Peterson and George Shearing) who had also recorded unaccompanied on this celebrated instrument for MPS.
Produced by Joachim-Ernst Berendt, the distinctive soundworld of 'Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!' was set down at a time when the pianist was intensely interested in the cultures and languages of both ancient African and Asian civilisations (hence the enigmatic track titles). The album sees this singular artist drawing on elements of Black Music and the European Classical tradition but refracting them in such a way so as to create a totally unique musical statement.
Reissue label Promising Music has repackaged the album in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with both original and new sleeve notes and is 24bit re-mastered from the original master tapes.
Personnel: Cecil Taylor (piano)
