"Teatro Comunale", Bologna Italy, October 12, 2007. Recorded at the festival "Angelica - Concerti Contemporanei". (Radio broadcast) Taylor reads two short poems, 'Abata' and 'Before Time'. This was the initial performance at the concert; it was followed by solos from Anthony Braxton, William Parker, and Taylor on piano. The three musicians then returned for a trio performance, which was abruptly cut short when Taylor suddenly left the stage. The transcription is my own.
