This is a recording with Cecil Taylor Trio, Cecil Taylor,p, Jimmy Lyons,as and Sunny Murray dr and with guest Albert Ayler on ts.. Recorded in Copenhagen November 16, 1962 and TV- broadcast. CD-released on Revenant
Sunny talks about this night here: www.paristransatlantic.com/magazine/interviews/murray.html Cecil was really floored by Albert after initially rejecting him.
I just read this interview and feel as though I know more about this music than I ever have. I've been listening to the avant garde since the early seventies. This interview with Sunny Murray has opened my eyes and ears. Thank you.
It sure would! Denmark's main media outlet and TV channel, DR ('Denmark's Radio') supposedly had video footage of Albert sitting in with Cecil's group during this particular trip to Denmark (I'm not sure if this specific recording is from that trip, or if it was caught on tape). Unfortunately though, DR threw out these tapes ages ago, because they had to clear out space in their old storage rooms apparently. Or so the story goes at least... A terrible shame! I imagine there could be quite a bit of TV footage of Albert Ayler hidden away in storage at various European TV stations. Would be amazing if somebody rounded it all up one day. One can only hope!
Thanks for posting this. I've been listening to it for a while. It is interesting that the piano seems pretty much in tune here, while a week later when Taylor performed and recorded Nefertiti the Beautiful One Has Come the piano seems painfully out of tune. I'm assuming it is the same piano. Taylor has been quoted as saying something to the effect that a piano changes as the result of his playing it. I wonder if this illustrates that? Anyway, thanks for putting this up.

Four giants playing together
Jimmy Lyons (as) Albert Ayler (ts) Cecil Taylor (p) Henry Grimes (b) Sunny Murray (d)
"Philharmonic Hall", New York, December 31, 1963
I don't think Grimes is playing here, also isn't this from Copenhagen '62
@@flukecentral5641 Yes, is't in Copenhagen the 16 November 1962.
sick...
Most free jazz sounds cacophonous to me but this sounds joyful!
cacophony is the greatest level of harmony
Complete track can be heard (with better audio) on soundcloud: soundcloud.com/waternogetenemy/four
It seems to have been removed from Soundcloud.
@@dbadagna Should be back now
Does the live footage still exist? Would be great to see it.

What a shame. That would have been amazing to see. And an historical artifact by now.
