NEA Jazz Master Cecil Taylor, a pioneer of the free-jazz movement along with John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman, never compromised his creativity despite remaining controversial to the mainstream. As a visionary pianists and an accomplished poet, Cecil remains an artist in the truest sense of the word. Now in his 82nd year, our own living national treasure graces us with an unforgettable one night only performance.
