Title: I Can't Dig This
Product review: Let me first say, that many people dig this stuff...avant-garde/free jazz stuff, and honestly, I've listened to a lot of it probably more than my ears can stand, but I have to say I just can't dig it. I've tried on so many occasions to like it, but this stuff is noise pollution to me. It's like running into someone on the street you don't like, after a few times, you make nice and chat with them, but after awhile, you start figuring out ways to avoid them everytime you see them. That's what Cecil Taylor's "music" is like. If you can dig this, then more power to you, but I have to have some substance in the music I listen to for me to dig it. Taylor's "music" is like book with a storyline that goes nowhere.This recording is totally devoid of melody, harmony, and rhythm, which are the three elements that make music the beautiful thing it is.
