In Truth: 213.78.76.144's edit concerning Cecil Taylor's Influence[edit]

"In truth it would be difficult for any contemporary pianist to avoid the influence of Taylor; Shipp, and others like Cooper-Moore, are going beyond Taylor."

This statement assumes that every contemporary pianist is influenced by Cecil Taylor. That's a bold statement and it contradicts the artists own beliefs (per the same edit on 28Jul2007 at 23:11). This is a bad edit.

If someone doesn't fix it in a few days I will revert it. The previous edit was adequate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlshd (talk • contribs) 08:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
