So, what I find interesting is that as a vanguard of "free jazz", CT did away with chord progressions , standard song form, standard harmony. He never left rhythm,, though, was actually sometimes as regular as a metronome .. Bill Evans, for instance, was much less beholden to "the beat" in some ways, more fluid.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19am
Scott:

I do understand where you're coming from, the rhythmic fluidity often came from his drummers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19am
Scott:

and bass players.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25am
doctorjazz:

Not implying it was boring or repetitive... CT would organize in phrases, and set them off against each other, thus getting variety. But most of the phrases themselves, in rhythmic terms, were very precise, technically demanding, but "on the beat". To my ears, anyway .. Not a bad thing, interesting to me
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28am
doctorjazz:

And, yes, the rhythm sections of created/added flow and dynamics ..
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:30am
Scott:

I agree with you
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31am
doctorjazz:

I read an interview with Gary Giddens, where he talked about CT, and how, when he taught, students from classical backgrounds got him right away.

Stepchild:

One amazing facet of these Berlin recordings is the number of different Cecils one finds. He draws his various parters to him, but also, while staying himself finds approaches to fit the personality of each different setting. Cecil, tailored.
