Cecil Taylor Piano at Ornette Coleman Memorial

[@gregarnold1696]

What Men like Ornette and Cecil give use is the roadmap to who we can become Thank You!!!!!!

[@jimthompson606]

So beautiful and heart felt. Loved them both Ornette and Cecil.

[@reverendbryan]

Very touching, thank you for posting. I've heard Cecil and Ornette remained good friend over the years. While we couldn't all be there, I know many of us were in spirit.

[@emilianoturazzi]

it's a pity they apparently never played together.

[@MrJamiejay68]

Apparently they *did* practice together often at Ornette’s loft in the early 1980s.... But no recordings are known to have been made....

[@johnphillips769]

Definitely moved by this great event, a deserved tribute to a spiritual leader, a soul of a strong inspiring messenger of the spectrum of possibilities for the human potential development, and the responsibility we have to being original. I am a better person for knowing him, and, being in the presence of those who knew him and loved him.

RIP great Mr. Cecil Taylor.

New York, June 27, 2015--Cecil Taylor, 85, read a poem and played an exquiste piano solo as a tribute to Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) at the Riverside Church. Filmed by Liza Béar.

The great performance reminds me of the music of Ravel.

Farewell Cecil

[@f.j.a9455]

Cecil Taylor, il est incroyable.

[@kevinmantu]

great musician

[@bladome]

epic

[@daigreatcoat44]

Now, we've lost Cecil Taylor as well- and Buell Neidlinger, and Roswell Rudd. I think this could be Taylor's last public appearance: does anyone know?

[@nathanbellott]

his last performance was at the Whitney Museum in NYC 2016

[@murattaner7384]

Cecil playing not only beautiful but also encompassing music. Bet they are having good time over there...A note for the interested: I had bypass surgery in may 2016. During anesthesia I saw Monk playing an upright with Ornette smiling and occasionally joining in with his alto.(Wearing a yellow suit and an orange tie that I didn't know Dave Bryant presented him on his last birthday celebration. :)))))P.S. I continue to smoke heavily since there may be a chance I can hear the rest of the gigshould I need another by-pass Hmmmm :)))

[@MrJamiejay68]

Great story. ❤ (And i hope you stay in good health)

At 1:00 you can faintly hear a cell phone ringer. What the hell is wrong with people?!?

[@OFFICIALBLINK182DRUMCOVERS]

MADE ME SO MAD

[@sterlingweston]

Faintly?!? is practically plugged into the PA.

[@spb7883]

@@sterlingweston It certainly would’ve been louder in person. We can agree on that. Regardless: incredibly disrespectful and rude.
