The Woodstock Concert

Marilyn Crispell

label: Music & Arts

ref: CD 929

year:1995

players: Marilyn Crispell

One of the free jazz scene’s phenomenal figureheads of solo piano improvisation, Marilyn Crispell’s amassed discography is as flawless as Cecil Taylor’s when it comes to brilliance in solo piano performance. The Woodstock Concert was given on April 21, 1995, and on that date she performed four improvisations, a Bill Evans piece, and one Annette Peacock composition which erupts into one of the most glorious performances of Crispell’s highly documented mid-’90s era. The pieces “Await; In Lingering Air” and the exquisitely titled “How Not to Anaesthetize Desire are exceptional moments that capture some of her greatest free improvisation on recording. ~ Skip Jansen, All Music Guide
