Philip Miller’s REWind: A Cantata for Voice, Tape and Testimony at the Prospect Park Bandshell

and

Gli Altri at the Noguchi Museum
The New York Times, Jul 10, 2007

Over at wordsandmusic, Rod Warner has posted a detailed description of the epochal reunion that took place in London over the weekend: Cecil Taylor, William Parker and Tony Oxley, a.k.a. the Feel Trio, with Anthony Braxton added. Charles M, who surfed in and posted a comment elsewhere on this site, was decidedly less impressed. You’ll soon be able to hear for yourself: BBC Radio 3 will be webcasting the show for a week, starting this Friday, July 13.
