Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants)

Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants) is an album by Cecil Taylor recorded in Milan, Italy on October 22–24, 1984 and released on the Soul Note label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "On the four Taylor originals, the colorful ensembles are quite dense although there is room for individual solos and heroics. Not too surprisingly Cecil Taylor is very much in control of the music." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
