Description
Cecil Taylor is one of the great liberators of contemporary music. Like Thelonius Monk and Ornette Coleman, Taylor follows in the tradition of Charlie Parker, creating a streaming liberty that is as powerful as any artistic expression in modern culture. Ageless and lionized, Taylor is the winner of a MacArthur genius award and his artistry appears to date in more than 200 recordings. Filmmaker Christopher Felver gets up close and personal with this master pianist, gaining unprecedented access to Taylor’s Brooklyn home/workplace, exploring his often stentorian pronouncements on life, art, music and memories, and a backstage meeting with his old friend Mal Waldron. The film is an intimate portrait of one of the greatest living jazz pianists.

70 minutes.
