[Heinrich Smejkal: "The remark on the web-site (www..nancyjazpuls.com) speaking of a QUINTET is very questionable and in my opinion wrong. In the German Jazzmagazine Jazzpodium both festivals - Freiburg (88.10.23) and Leverkusen (88.10.21) - have feature articles (festival reports) mentioning the Cecil Taylor Trio with W. Parker and T. Oxley." --RL concurs.]
