Essential Jazz Classics

Cecil Taylor was an American free jazz pianist. Born on March 25, 1929 in New York City, he became a pioneering figure in the world of avant-garde jazz. Known for his innovative and energetic playing style, Taylor pushed the boundaries of traditional jazz music with his complex compositions and improvisations. His unique approach to the piano earned him critical acclaim and numerous accolades throughout his career. Cecil Taylor passed away on April 5, 2018 in New York City, leaving behind a lasting legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern jazz.

Essential Jazz Classics is a Spanish label that specializes in reissuing classic jazz albums. With a focus on preserving and reintroducing timeless jazz recordings, this label has become an authority in the industry. Their extensive catalog includes albums from legendary artists such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Billie Holiday. As a label operating within the public domain in Europe, Essential Jazz Classics ensures accessibility to these iconic recordings. While there is no specification about the sources used for their masters, rest assured that each release is carefully curated to provide an exceptional listening experience.

Deluxe packaging includes 12-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia &amp; updates, as well as the original liner notes. This release presents the complete original LP The World of Cecil Taylor (Candid 9006), which was the first album recorded by Cecil Taylor for the legendary Candid label. The group consists of the Cecil Taylor Trio, with Buell Neidlinger on bass and Dennis Charles on drums, plus Archie Shepp on tenor sax joining them on two songs. An extra song and two alternate takes from the same sessions have been added as a bonus.

"This is a wonderful document from early in Taylor's career, when he was midway between modernist approaches to standard material and his own radical experiments that would come to full fruition a few years hence. A classic recording that belongs in anyone's collection." - Brian Olewnick, All Music Guide
