Cecil Taylor 4 pennies Updated

Right this moment eMusic is selling a wonderful 4-CD set of Cecil Taylor recordings for the Candid label: The Complete Nat Henthof sessions for less than six bucks.  

This box set contains material released as  

1. Air, 
2. Jumpin' Pumpkins,  
3. The World of Cecil Taylor,  
4. Cell Walk for Celeste, and 
5. New York City R&B, 
6. Mixed (tracks 1-3).

plus a wealth of outtakes.

I paid eMusic $5.84 for the whole thing in spite of the fact that I have three of the six original albums.  I just couldn't pass up all the extra material at that price of a single album.  If you don't have the albums, this is an incredible buy.  The box of CDs costs almost $50 at Amazon.  I don't expect the price will last, so if you are reading this blog as I post, go for it quick.  

I am playing 'Johnny Came Lately', one of the bonus tracks recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival 1957.  It is a showcase for Steve Lacy's soprano sax.  I am also playing 'Things Ain't What They Used to Be', and 'Air'.  Both are out takes, not available on the original albums.

 Update: I have added to the list of recordings where this material appeared earlier.  The cuts 'Bulbs', 'Pots', and 'Mixed' were released on an LP entitled Mixed along with several cuts without Cecil Taylor. 

I am playing 'Pots' and 'O.P.'
