Erzulie Maketh Scent is a live album featuring a solo performance by pianist Cecil Taylor recorded in Berlin on July 16, 1988 as part of month-long series of concerts by Taylor and released on the FMP label.
Cecil Taylor has said that improvisation represent the raising of Man's spiritual capacities, in the trance state.
All this may sound a bit euphoric, requiring some additional explanation: It is the music that stands out, no ideology, no personality cult, no over-interpreted idea, no New-Age.
Taylor's many influences, interests, and obsessions are engaged here: They are mused upon, debated, and underscored for emphasis.
His exploratory range has never been greater than it is on this three-part set, with two short and very delightful "songs" tagged on at the end.
