FINALLY! A Cecil Taylor biography -what welcome news! This is going to be the most anticipated read of my year. Also, anything Wolke Verlag publishes is gold. Congratulations on what must be a milestone accomplishment!
What a glorious thing it was in the days if record stores to walk in and see new black saint and soul note albums on display (harvard coop record department i'm talking to you!); i still have dozens. Nice to know that they are now on bandcamp.
And i've said it before but boy am i excited about the taylor bio....
I bought several of the box sets years ago. Didn't know that Black Saint & Soul Note were on Bandcamp until I read this post. I fixing to load up. Great article. Thanks.
Can’t remember when I’ve been awaiting a music bio as much as this one
I have a show to be broadcast on May 29 featuring some of these new Bandcamp offerings, including an interesting Max Roach with Anthony Braxton:

Nice! I bought a bunch of the Black Saint and Soul Note boxes that came out several years ago; they did a really nice job remastering the CDs.
I got my hands on volume 1 and 2 of sampler CDs likely issued around the same time. https://www.discogs.com/release/8617455-Various-Black-SaintSoul-Note-Critics-Pick-Sampler-Vol-1 and https://www.discogs.com/release/8854575-Various-Black-Saint-Soul-Note-Critics-Pick-Sampler-Vol-2
And to bring both themes together, roach and cecil taylor had an extremely good live soul note duet.
