about

Sunny Murray – Drums and Voice
John Edwards – Double Bass
Tony Bevan – Tenor Saxophone

The first studio recording by Sunny Murray’s long-standing European Trio, and their strongest statement yet.

"Could Sunny Murray’s left foot actually be the engine at the heart of the universe? That’s what it feels like, as his clashing hi-hat cymbals churn away relentlessly, the outward manifestation of his internal, eternal sense of abstract swing" – Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise.

Birdland, Neuburg 2011
by Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley

supported by 20 fans who also own “I Stepped Onto A Bee”

There is a classical grandeur to Taylor’s playing here, spinning gothic arches of sound that never stop rising to the heavens even as they push up undaunted through Oxley’s richly textured hailstorms of percussion. Many delicate moments which Oxley lets breath, bracketing them elegantly. Some of Cecil’s most accessible moments of glittering beauty. A Beethoven’s power, a Scriabin’s poetry, a Messiaen’s colour, a Prokofiev’s playfulness, but all Cecil Taylor. Very good recording quality. SlithyToves
