![]() When I was putting together the Oblivion release of “The Return Concert” I asked Frank about the flyer. I was out of the station by then, but one always has a special feeling for home. My formative years in recording happened at Columbia University’s WKCR-FM, the co-sponsor of this concert it was where David Laura came looking for someone to record Cecil’s Town Hall concert. I introduced Frank to Cecil’s manager at the time, David Laura, to design the vinyl LP labels for “ Spring of Two Blue-J’s,” and then this flyer. ![]() Many are just trace-overs of famous photographs, giving us very little fresh about the subject.įrank Olinsky, a great friend* of mine and an Oblivion OG, was the artist. ![]() To my eyes, rarely do world class illustrators do justice to jazz musicians, especially of the free jazz variety.

I’ve been searching for this Cecil Taylor flyer for the 25 years since I misplaced mine. Cecil Taylor illustration and design by Frank Olinsky, 1974
