[NewMusic] Zorn/Taylor Lincoln Center review in NYTimes

[Kristian Aspelin]

I agree 100% - I get something new (a lot of things, actually) out of Cecil's music every time I listen to it, and I listen to his music a lot.  Therefore, to me, it is always new and radical.  My point was only to say that I understand what Phillip was saying in terms of new phases/periods in the big musical picture.

Cecil's playing is both new and radical. What piano trio has gone 
beyond the Feel trio? None. In recent weeks I have listened to: 
"Looking Ahead", "Neferttiti, the Beautiful", The Feel Trio + strings 
I mentioned earlier, the Willisau Concert (solo) and a recent radio 
broadcast of the Dixon/Taylor/Oxley trio.
The differences of those recordings were huge, and the similarities 
were only superficial.
