1. It Is In The Brewing Luminous
personnel :
Cecil Taylor - Bösendorfer piano and voice
Jimmy Lyons - alto sax
Ramsey Ameen - violin
Alan Silva - bass and cello
Jerome Cooper - drums and african balaphone
Sunny Murray - drums
Originally released as a double-LP and then reissued as a single CD, this continuous 71-minute live performance from 1980 features pianist Cecil Taylor with a particularly intriguing sextet comprised of his longtime altoist Jimmy Lyons, violinist Ramsey Ameen, Alan Silva on bass and cello and both Jerome Cooper and Sunny Murray on drums. Not too surprisingly, the playing is quite intense and dense with only a few moments of lyricism popping through. Taylor sounds very much like a human dynamo while Lyons' solos are full of fragile beauty. This is brilliant music that will not sound "safe" or "easy listening" even a century from now.~Scott Yanow
