Description
A live meeting between pioneering US free jazz pianist Cecil Taylor and English drummer and percussionist Tony Oxley. With first class quality audio, this 2002 recording of the duo is from the personal archives of Tony Oxley.
The musical synergy between Taylor and Oxley is one of the most natural and artistically fulfilling manifestations of the "Art of the Duo" idiom. After all these two musicians share many common qualities: they are revolutionaries, pioneers, visionaries and free spirits, who expanded the realms of music perhaps more significantly than is commonly acknowledged. It is not only what they managed to create over the years but also how they did it: boldly, uncompromisingly, and above all consistently.
