Title: Nice "Walk"
Review: Cecil Taylor'sNew York City R&B;is one of my favorite avant-garde jazz albums of the early 60s, but alas C.T. albums are often hard to digest so it took me awhile to stomach buying the three other Candid discs of outtakes from these sessions (it helped that I found them on the dollar menu). "Cell Walk for Celeste" contains two alternate takes of the title track (the master take was originally featured on "NYC R&B;"), and two more of "Jumpin' Punkins" (yet another CT disc on Candid, featuring of course the master take of that track). Two versions of "Davis" complete the set. Many will find "Cell Walk" long and arduous, but I'm always up for some exercise for my ears.
Is the review positive or negative?
