The Declaration of Musical Independance - Andrew Cyrille Quartet

The great avant-garde jazz drummer Andrew Cyrille – whose associations have ranged from a long, vintage collaboration with Cecil Taylor to co-leading current all-star collective Trio 3 with Oliver Lake and Reggie Workman – makes his ECM leader debut with The Declaration of Musical Independence.

Cyrille appeared on classic ECM and WATT albums by the likes of Marion Brown, Carla Bley and the Jazz Composer’s Orchestra, but this album puts a deserved spotlight on an icon of jazz drumming and his immense talent.

The Declaration of Musical Independence features a quartet led by Cyrille, with guitar luminary Bill Frisell, keyboardist Richard Teitelbaum and bassist Ben Street.
