Silent Tongues

by Cecil Taylor

Silent Tongues cover art

Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1974, this unyielding solo piano performance highlights Taylor's percussive, massively energetic approach to the instrument. Blending breathtaking velocity with complex, dissonant clusters, the set is celebrated as one of his most powerful and physically demanding unaccompanied recordings.
