...Sussex home, "a grey stone, lichened house-A.D. 1654 over the door." But there was also Kipling the solid burgher of his middle years, who married an American woman and settled down as a country gentleman for four years in Brattleboro, Vt., who became a friend of Cecil Rhodes and the enemy of every Liberal Member of Parliament, regularly depicted in Kipling stories as grossly fat, loose-lipped and emitting sprays of saliva.

When Ayler enters with huge, broad sweeps of melody line, Cherry switches to a jabbing attack of quick phrases...
...Cecil Taylor's Silent Tongues stands out from the previous three records both because of its format (solo piano) and its recording date (it was recorded at last year's Montreux festival). The album provides a fair sample of what '60s avant-garde music is doing in the '70s as well as how a difference in format necessitates a difference in approach...
