GAME-CHANGER

"For instance, the best tune on the album, "This Nearly Was Mine," is a tune that under ordinary circumstances is one of the most terrifyingly maudlin pop tunes of our time. But Taylor seems to come to the tune with this in mind because he almost completely rearranges the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic devices of the tune and succeeds in making a music that is so personal and intimate as to give one the feeling that the original "This" never really existed, except as a kind of dyspeptic nightmare."

- Amiri Baraka on Cecil Taylor's version of "This Nearly Was Mine"

"Doesn't that fool know that I recorded that song because I like it?"

I guess there's an element where I've worked with really great directors for whom theater has saved their life. And that passion for its humanity -- for the idea of theater being a place where we can be very human with each other -- is something that I've retained and I always aspire to in the theater. The idea that it's about people communicating; there's no tricks, there's no cinema, it's just us. We're all in the same room breathing together, and if it all works out, we'll all end up having the same heart-rate at the end of the show.
