Recorded in 1988 as part of Cecil Taylor month in Berlin, this trio,
which consists of Taylor, saxophonist Evan Parker, and cellist Tristan
Honsinger, is an improviser's dream. Here are two personalities actually
strong enough to rein Taylor in and bring the music up out of him
instead of the force. Parker chose tenor for this gig, and he and
Honsinger play to each other for the first couple of minutes,
establishing a mutated kind of blues groove as Taylor sings in his tinny
voice and claps in the background. Honsinger's bowed chord voicings
offer Parker plenty to work off of tonally, and he does, turning the
blues riff into a vamp on thirds, and then elongated harmonic structures
that bring Taylor in on the piano after about ten minutes. Taylor
enters with arpeggios blazing, but he is reined in by the architecture
created by Honsinger in his phrasing. When Taylor is forced to play
inside it, his creativity rages; he is full of colors, glissandi,
dynamics, and a palette of textures that is dizzying -- so much so that
Parker stops playing for a while. When he reenters, it is to slow things
down and build upon some of the tonal structures Taylor has been
tossing off within Honsinger's phraseology. Parker becomes a mode
setter, creating a new layer of intervallic order from each set of
overtones, where any player is allowed to push against its walls but not
to break them. And from here, a language is established within the
trio, making the musicians move into one another more closely, taking
bits and pieces and growing ideas out into entire musical universes made
by three -- not one plus one plus one. This is a devastatingly fine
gig, and one of the best Taylor played the entire month he was in
Berlin.
