A wonderfully unusual album in Cecil Taylor's formidable discography, this combines solo piano with overdubs of percussion and poetry. It's a full melding of various strands of Taylor's art and a must for even casual fans. The Wire says: "Seldom has Cecil sounded so immediate and touching, brittle possibilities rippling out like diamonds. Gorgeous."

REVIEWS

Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD: 4 Stars.

"Double Holy House combines poetry and the piano, and surprisingly enough it works brilliantly. Cecil has loosened up his high-art attack, and now there are moments for suggestive chords and poignant notes. Seldom has Cecil sounded so immediate and touching, brittle possibilities rippling out like diamonds. Gorgeous." - The Wire

"Magnificent, strange and eerily beautiful, the perfect illustration of an approach to time that is not linear but like the inner surface of a sphere where every point is equally visible and reachable from every point." - Brian Morton

"Cecil Taylor’s latest is a piano/voice experiment. While he’s used both before in performance, this is the first time that two separate performances, one of solo piano, the other of poetry, have been superimposed on top of each other. Initially, one might think that this goes against the usual “pure” method of Taylor’s invention. But more and more he has seemed to view these two strains of his art as one. This is the next logical progression. And it is markedly successful." - Cadence

Cecil Taylor is one of my favorite musicians. And Jimmy Lyons has one of the most beautiful alto sax sound in the whole history. echiarel
