"for ten bars he did absolutely nothing except cover up in the most delinquent way with scales and arpeggios precisely those rather inane chords"

drag his ASS gg

glenn gould and cecil taylor were so nearly the same age: in a better world they'd have been on TV robustly debating gg's over-simplified line here on improvisation as largely a happy-go-lucky art of the moment

but still this is v good on the battle between the explosive mischief of invention & the productive self-denial of structure

(or maybe sonny rollins if you can't imagine cecil's mischief-making letting up long enough to allow a gouldian dialectics through)

I came here to post that same video!!
