Spring of Two Blue-J's is a 1974 live album by Cecil Taylor, the second set of a "return concert" recorded at The Town Hall in New York City in November 1973.
With its keen call-and-response motives, endlessly fertile improvisation, and intuitive shifts in dynamics, this piano exploration qualifies as one of Taylor's best and most accessible.
While Cyrille compliments and provokes Taylor with his supple and energetic work behind the kit, Lyons alternates between comically detached commentary and frenetic wailing on the alto.
[3] This concert at The Town Hall was billed as Cecil Taylor's "return" to New York City after a period teaching in the Midwest United States.
Seibert, assisted by Nick Moy and Alan Goodman, brought a portable Ampex 4-track, half inch, tape recorder, mixers, and microphones to capture the performances.
