Ruvo in September 2000 saw the arrival of the Italian Instabile
Orchestra fresh from a triumphally successful appearance at the
Chicago Jazz Fest (where it had performed an all-Instabile
programme of compositions by the groupÆs members), ready to
embark on a totally differently structured venture with
unabated energy. TaylorÆs seemingly extreme approach made
certain that none of the musicians could succumb to tiredness,
turn on their automatic pilot and trot out ready-made clichΘs.
But Cecil Taylor did more than that. He obliged the musicians
to take a fresh look at themselves and to rethink their basic
ideas of what making unconventional music implies. What he did
was to remind them of the ideas that had originally inspired
the birth of the Instabile in Noci in 1990: the idea of a
musical rebirth during a performance, of reworking elements
from the score live in concert, and of looking deep within
oneself to let loose a music whose freedom and energy is, as
the listener can clearly perceive, no mere superficial patina.
This meeting of two legends of avantgarde jazz remains a unique
and special event. For although Taylor has not worked a huge
number of times with orchestral groups, this was certainly the
first time in Europe that he had had the chance to work with a
group that already existed, rather than the more usual pick-up
band situation. It was a meeting which was repeated a year and
a half later in March 2002 in Paris for the Banlieues Bleues
Festival, and, by the time this CD comes out, there will have
been a third encounter in September 2003 at the SantÆAnna
Arresi Festival in Sardinia.
