Cecil Taylor
Cecil Percival Taylor (born in March 25, 1929) is an American pianist and poet.〔Yanow, Scott (2008). ("Cecil Taylor biography" ), ''AllMusic''.〕 Classically trained, Taylor is generally acknowledged as one of the pioneers of free jazz. His music is characterized by an extremely energetic, physical approach, producing complex improvised sounds, frequently involving tone clusters and intricate polyrhythms. His piano technique has been likened to percussion, for example described as "eighty-eight tuned drums" (referring to the number of keys on a standard piano). He has also been described as "like Art Tatum with contemporary-classical leanings".
==Early life==
Taylor was born in New York City. He began playing piano at age six and studied at the New York College of Music and New England Conservatory. After first steps in R&B and swing-styled small groups in the early 1950s, he formed his own band with soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy in 1956.
Taylor's first recording, ''Jazz Advance'', featured Lacy and was released in 1956. It is described by Cook and Morton in the ''Penguin Guide to Jazz'': "While there are still many nods to conventional post-bop form in this set, it already points to the freedoms which the pianist would later immerse himself in." Taylor's Quartet featuring Lacy also appeared at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. He collaborated with saxophonist John Coltrane in 1958 (''Stereo Drive'', currently available as ''Coltrane Time'').
