	10:36am Scott: Cheers!
	10:39am Uncle Michael: Scott, are you wise to Josh Cantor playing Rick Kick Shaw on the organ at Fenway during a Red Sox game?
	10:40am Scott: Oh yeah I think I read that on Doug's Fbook. So cool.
	11:00am Doug Schulkind: On a clear day you can Cecil forever! Good morning, Reverend McD and all Rallyists! Just dipping my ears in for s sec during my break at work.
	11:08am Sem: Entranced by this Cecil Taylor show. Thank you, Scott.
	11:13am Scott: Very happy to hear that. thanks.
	11:16am doctorjazz: So, what I find interesting is that as a vanguard of "free jazz", CT did away with chord progressions , standard song form, standard harmony. He never left rhythm,, though, was actually sometimes as regular as a metronome .. Bill Evans, for instance, was much less beholden to "the beat" in some ways, more fluid.
	11:19am Scott: I do understand where you're coming from, the rhythmic fluidity often came from his drummers.
	11:19am Scott: and bass players.
	11:25am doctorjazz: Not implying it was boring or repetitive... CT would organize in phrases, and set them off against each other, thus getting variety. But most of the phrases themselves, in rhythmic terms, were very precise, technically demanding, but "on the beat". To my ears, anyway .. Not a bad thing, interesting to me
	11:28am doctorjazz: And, yes, the rhythm sections of created/added flow and dynamics ..
	11:30am Scott: I agree with you
	11:31am doctorjazz: I read an interview with Gary Giddens, where he talked about CT, and how, when he taught, students from classical backgrounds got him right away.
	11:54am Stepchild: One amazing facet of these Berlin recordings is the number of different Cecils one finds. He draws his various parters to him, but also, while staying himself finds approaches to fit the personality of each different setting. Cecil, tailored.
