Unit Structures: The Art of Cecil Taylor
This conference aims to build upon Taylor scholarship in jazz and American music studies, and also to expand it into a broader range of disciplines in order to reflect more accurately the scope of Taylor’s own praxis. We explicitly seek to recognize scholarship in an expanded context, one that welcomes creative responses to Cecil Taylor’s work.
