The Blue Train And Cecil Taylor Quintet - Blue Fire
Review by Shreedeep Rayamajhi
Blue Fire, the latest album by Blue Train and Cecil Taylor Quintet, is a true masterpiece of modern jazz. The album features a unique blend of traditional jazz and avant-garde experimental music, showcasing the incredible talents of the musicians involved.
The album opens with the title track, "Blue Fire", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its complex rhythms and intricate melodies. The interplay between the musicians is incredible, with each member bringing their own unique style to the table.
Tracks like "Spiral Galaxy" and "Solar Flare" showcase the more experimental side of the album, with Cecil Taylor's piano work taking center stage. His improvisational skills are truly awe-inspiring, and he manages to push the boundaries of what is possible with a piano.
The album also features some beautiful ballads, such as "Midnight Blue" and "Crystal Moon", which provide a nice contrast to the more frenetic tracks. The musicians show a real sensitivity and understanding of each other's playing, and the result is some truly beautiful music.

Notes
Originally released 1959, later it appeared as a John Coltrane album as "Coltrane Time", first in 1962. Produced for United Artists Records. Recorded in New York City on October 13, 1958.About The Blue Train And Cecil Taylor Quintet
lançado originalmente como
Hard Driving Jazz em nome
do notável pianista Cecil
Taylor. Foram reunidos no
estúdio de gravação Kenny
Dorham, trompete; John
Coltrane, sax-tenor; Chuck
Israels, baixo; Louis Hayes,
bateria e o líder da sessão,
pianista Cecil Taylor.
Esta formação é algo
heterogenea na medida
que são músicos que não
costumavam tocar juntos.
Na minha opinião, o piano
de Cecil Taylor se destaca.
Não só nos solos como nos
acompanhamentos.
Inexplicavelmente o disco
foi relançado como
Coltrane Time e em nome
de John Coltrane.
Mas isto não tira a quali-
dade da gravação. É excep-
cional.
