Cecil Taylor – Luyah! The Glorious Step

Cecil Taylor – Wallering

From “Looking Ahead!” : 1958 : Contemporary M 3562

An early recording by pianist Cecil Taylor, this quartet recording features Earl Griffith on the vibes and was released in 1958 on Contemporary Records.  The tracks Luyah! The Glorious Step and Wallering (both Taylor originals) show an unrelentless talent at work and the whole album hints at the amazing body of work Cecil Taylor would produce over the next five decades (and still making today!).

Players:
Cecil Taylor – Piano
Earl Griffith – Vibes
Buell Nedlinger – Bass
Dennis Charles – Drums
