In December 1989, I went to Town Hall for the ten-year reunion concert of Cecil Taylor and Max Roach, revisiting and renewing their historic live performance at Columbia University. That first concert was released as Historic Concerts in 1984 on the Soul Note label. The concert is one of those musical experiences permanently embedded in my memory, the shape and feeling of literally ducking down behind the seat in front of me because the torrent of onrushing ideas was overwhelming and seemed a little dangerous still vivid in my body.
