    Innovations in Music Paul F. Murphy Master drummer, Paul F. Murphy, and his apprentice of 12 years, multi- instrumentalist Dominic Fragman, are forging a new style of musical expression. Oxford has recognized Murphy as a “fuent, compositionally minded master drummer.” Dominic Fragman Fragman is noted as an unmatched musician. His work as a drummer, guitarist, and vocalist has gained him millions of video views and an international reputation as a “musical genius.” Murphy and Fragman’s work in the Spirit of Innovation & Freedom has been noted by Oxford as “a new direction in the jazz and art arena.” www.MurphyFragman.com Paul Murphy and Larry Willis create music that is quite simply hefy . the pair’s interaction is tight, unafraid, and thoroughly conscious.” — JazzTimes “Invention through total improvisation . the two musicians suggest they are interacting fully, listening intently and opening themselves to any and every type of possibility” - 4 stars —Downbeat “In addition to leading pioneering recordings and ensembles, Murphy is also renowned for his innovative approach to the drum set. He is a fuent, compositionally minded master drummer and has performed with numerous musicians across a vast spectrum of genres.” — Oxford’s Grove Dictionary of American Music “He has subsequently collaborated with the pianist Larry Willis and the poet Jere Carroll, performing works that link the worlds of bebop and the avant garde and have been noted as a new direction in the jazz and art arena.” — Oxford’s Grove Dictionary of American Music “Murphy developed a formidable technique and gained a high profle owing to a spell with alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons during which his energetic and dizzyingly fast freeform playing attracted much attention.” — Oxford’s Encyclopedia of Popular Music “A Kung Fu master of the drums.

MALIK, TRUMPET RAMSEY AMEEN, VIOLIN SIRONE, BASS RONALD SHANNON JACKSON, DRUMS CECILTAYLOR New World Records 80303-2 THE MUSIC OF CECIL TAYLOR by Gary Giddins More than any one else in contemporary music, Cecil Taylor has successfully reconciled the traditions of jazz and the academy. To no one's surprise, least of all his own, the accomplishment is not universally celebrated. The classical avant-garde views it with the suspicion it turns on all jazz-related developments, while the jazz traditionalists are disaffected by Taylor's abandonment of swing orthodoxies. Yet the achievement is unmistakable: Taylor's music gives emotional satisfaction; it enlarges the language and potential of musical expression; it makes us hear deeper and better. After two decades of uncompromising dedication, Taylor has earned a passionate international following. His art remains difficult for the novitiate to grasp, but time has proved that those difficulties are not insurmountable. To understand the impact of Taylor's innovations, it is useful to recall the state of American music in the nineteen- fifties, when his influence was first felt. At the time of his debut recording in 1955, the structure of a jazz performance was rigidly codified. Jazz improvisation and composition were based on a cyclical form—that is, the soloist and the composer worked with a predetermined structure, usually the twelve-bar blues or the thirty-two-bar popular song, which served as a harmonic and rhythmic pattern to be repeated over and over for the duration of a performance. Each cycle, or chorus, had the same harmonic progression and number of measures; the melodies had to conform to the harmonic outline, and the rhythms to the time signature.

    CURRENT A HEAD ■ 407 ORNETTE COLEMAN lonely woman CECIL TAYLOR bulbs CECIL TAYLOR willisau concert, part 3 ALBERT AYLER ghosts DAVID MURRAY el matador THE AVANT-GARDE 15 Forward March T e word “avant-garde” originated in the French military to denote the advanced guard: troops sent ahead of the regular army to scout unknown territory. In English, the word was adapted to describe innovative composers, writers, painters, and other artists whose work was so pioneering that it was believed to be in the vanguard of contemporary thinking. Avant-gardism represented a movement to liberate artists from the restraints of tradition, and it often went hand-in-hand with progressive social thinking. T ose who championed avant-garde art tended to applaud social change. T ose who criticized it for rejecting prevailing standards couched their dismay in warnings against moral laxity or political anarchy. In the end, however, all art, traditional or avant-garde, must stand on its merit, inde- pendent of historic infl uences. T e art that outrages one generation often becomes the tradition and homework assignments of the next: the paintings of Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso, music of Gustav Mahler and Claude Debussy, and writings of Marcel Proust and James Joyce were all initially considered avant-garde. Two especially promi- nent twentieth-century avant-garde movements gathered steam in the decades follow- ing the world wars, and jazz was vital to both. Sonny Rollins combined the harmonic progressions of bop with the freedom of the avant-garde and sustained an international following.

    1 Friday, Oct. 25 at The Graduate Center, Elebash Hall Session 1: the 1950s & 60s in context 9:00-9:30 am, Eric Charry, “The Development of Cecil Taylor’s Musical Language in the 1950s and 1960s” Cecil Taylor’s new musical language is audible from his very first album, Jazz Advance, recorded in fall 1956 when he was 27 years old. By exploring the interplay of pianistic textures (interactions between the two hands) and directional gestures and contours (ascending or descending lines, moving or static clusters), Taylor created new stories to be told and laid the foundation for developments that have resounded to the present day. Taylor’s approach precluded the necessity for a steady pulse and meter, and with the arrival of drummer Sunny Murray in 1960 and bassist Henry Grimes in 1961 his unit began to join him in breaking through the musical forms of the day and forging new ones. Taylor’s innovations yielded an extraordinary burst of extended solo piano recordings, from Carmen with Rings (1967) and Praxis (1968) through Indent (1973) and Silent Tongues (1974). Few in Taylor’s generation systematized and wrote down the codes to their language for others to decipher, with exceptions like George Russell (1923-2009). Anthony Braxton (1945-) would do just that for his own music in his 5-volume Composition Notes (1988), which codified a system of 99 “sound classifications,” including gestures such as accelerating, gliss, long, low, parallel, and trills. The intellectual underpinnings of Braxton’s music from the late 1960s onward can be linked directly to Taylor’s breakthroughs.

The research coordinator was Michiel Schuijer and the external advisor was Vijay Iyer. The original work has been revised and enriched, resulting in the version you are about to read. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to my mentor Vijay Iyer for his enthusiasm, support, guidance and advising. His precious insights were essential for this research. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Trevor Grahl for the language revision and refinements made to the text. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to George Dumitriu for his care, encouragement and understanding. 3 Introduction “To play with Cecil Taylor, you need the stamina of an athlete and the imagination of a God!” (Tony Oxley in an interview with Panken, 2001) Cecil Taylor’s free improvisations are beautifully structured compositions. The material Taylor is using is pre-considered and fairly restricted; therefore, cohesive and at the same time, colorful and varied.
