Cecil Taylor Unit “Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979” Deluxe 2LP Gatefold. Available now! ✨Album link in our Bio✨
Live at the KiMo Theater captures Taylor on November 20, 1979, during a rare tour of the American West with a then newly reconstituted quintet formation of his Unit. An ensemble in regular flux from the mid-1970s onward, only two members of Taylor’s 1978 Unit, violinist Ramsey Ameen (1945-2019) & alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons (1931-1986) —the bel canto voice of every Cecil Taylor band since 1961— made the trip with Taylor to Albuquerque. Re-entering the fold on bass & cello after a decade-long absence was prime mover extraordinaire Alan Silva (1939-), with drummer Jerome Cooper (1946-2015) making his Cecil Taylor Unit performance debut. Each historical incarnation of the Cecil Taylor Unit emphasized the musicians’ freedom to infuse the architectures of Taylor’s music with their own personalities. Together with the Maestro in Albuquerque, this novel formation played a concert as unique & fascinating as its line-up & instrumentation suggests, with dynamics, textures & interactions that are quite different from the often in-the-red, sometimes gladiatorial 1978 Taylor bands. The addition of Sunny Murray to this ensemble in February 1980 for the recording of It Is In The Brewing Luminous (HatHut) would transform the music yet again.
Deluxe heavy tip-on 2LP gatefold jacket with ink pigment and metallic foil stamping on uncoated paper, metallic spot color gatefold plus detailed, color printed 12-page listening guide. Mastered by Joe Lizzi, Lacquers by Kevin Gray, pressed to audiophile vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing.

“I’m gonna tell you what the key is: with Cecil, I function as a saxophone player; I don’t function as a drummer with him. Cecil was the drummer. You try to outplay Cecil, and you’ll go under…. If you try to keep up with Cecil and deal—you can’t do it.” - Jerome Cooper, drum kit, balafon, shehnai, whistle on “Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979” by the Cecil Taylor Unit ✨Out Now! see links in out bio to purchase✨
From the essay included with the album by Ben Young:
“Cooper was an unusual choice for the Unit. He loved a pattern, and at his best in the Revolutionary Ensemble he both upheld the pattern and made poking variations against it. The defining motif of his new outlook since then was built on loops and cycles—often perfect, unadorned, mechanical repetitions of pattern. Cooper’s 1979 self was still a few years from using digital samplers and synthesizers, but the proclivity manifests already at the KiMo. Cooper’s own artistry explored to almost absurd dimensions The Unpredictability of Predictability, as his second LP heralded. We muse that none of the above—pattern, time signature, loops, or the stereotypical 12/8 ride figure that Cooper brought a suitcase full of—were actively part of Taylor’s percussion needs up to that time.
Cooper found a way he could operate within the Cecil Taylor spectrum. As the drummer was flexing his wings to go solo, Cecil was the one person he was a willing sideman for. With Taylor’s continuous juggernaut at the keyboard, the drummer can start, stop and change freely, without fear of depressurizing the performance. That largely matches what we hear at Albuquerque— which seems to be Cooper’s first day on the job, and for all we know may have been his first music-making of any sort with Cecil Taylor.”

the age of good news is not over yet. a new edition of joshua abrams’ 2015 x2LP magnum opus -magnetoception- is at last here. out-of-print on vinyl for a decade+, magnetoception is the 3rd album, & 1st double album, in the saga of natural information society. in a berwyn, illinois attic, february 2013, abrams, guitarists emmett kelly & jeff parker, & grand master drummer hamid drake gathered around vintage neumanns & a woodstove to record the nucleus of magnetoception live to 2-track. beamed-in over the next year at abrams’ chicago home studio were lisa alvarado’s harmonium, ben boye’s electric autoharp, drake’s conga drum, & solo pieces by abrams for harp & clarinet. thanks to marc masters championing the album for pitchfork’s bygone column -the out door- & its appearance in @thewiremagazine 2015 rewind, magnetoception moved NIS from the recesses of the underground into realms of greater visibility. 2026 eremite edition pressed by @fidelityrecordpressing from new lacquers cut by kevin gray / cohearent, presented in a non-gatefold matte jacket featuring lisa alvarado’s og artwork. x2CD edition & EU x2LP edition available thru our partner @aguirre_records. “The members of Natural Information Society craft Abrams’ songs like painters composing a landscape, or bricklayers constructing a building, with patience and devotion that values long goals over immediate gratification. Inside these calm journeys lie new sonic revelations, which might not have come in shorter durations.” —Marc Masters, Pitchfork

no sheet of sound enshroud
the Fount of this fevered
Brook becoming one
with God’s Eye, not a one of these notes
come near to the brunt
of the inaudible
note l’ve been reach-
ing towards
To whatever
dust-eyed giver
of tone to whatever
talk, to whatever slack
jaws drawn against bone
To whatever
hearts abulge with
unsourced light, to whatever
sun, to whatever moist
inward meats
of love
Tonight I’ll bask
beneath an arch
of lost
voices, echo
some Other place,
Nut’s nether suns
These
notes’ long fingers gathered
come to grips of gathered
cloud, connected lip
to unheard of
tongue
“John Coltrane Arrived with an Egyptian Lady”
