Cecil Taylor
Rivalled perhaps only by Art Tatum as a virtuoso of jazz piano, Taylor combines the compositional grandeur of the European tradition with a technique of jackhammer intensity to create marathon tsunamis of joy, rage, lyricism, humor, and pathos. Since the '50s, this perennial radical has shaped a body of work that, in its range and audacity, makes him arguably one of two or three most original jazz artists of the post-war period.
