Cyrille addressed each circumstance with the finesse and power of a master tennis player, instantly intuiting intentions, recalibrating dynamics and rhythmic shape, and responding to every salvo with accurate volleys.

 Andrew Cyrille: Bringer of Forms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Along with his peers, explorers like Sunny Murray, Milford Graves, and Rashied Ali, Cyrille developed a new form of jazz percussion that freed itself from the constraint of meter and paved the way for the advancement of the avant garde musics of Taylor, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and others.
Cyrille was quick to recognize that he was not alone in his desire to rethink the role of the drumset in jazz.
He first honed his solo technique by playing for dancers, an experience which Cyrille categorizes as “another outstanding chapter in my life as a drummer insofar as making music with the drumset so that people felt comfortable moving their bodies.” His experience in this area was extensive and fruitful.

I've been a great admirer of drummer Andrew Cyrille for several years, dating back to when I used to watch him perform in David Murray's Quartet at the Vanguard.
Andrew is one of the most sensitive drummers in jazz and has an unparalleled melodic sense - one of the few drummers who I could listen to perform solo for hours.
And while he often conjures up all sorts of unorthodox sounds from his instrument with a variety of original techniques, playing a few seconds of his tune "High Priest" underscores his supreme ability to lay down some "dangerous" grooves, as well...

Andrew Cyrille non abbisogna di presentazioni, trattandosi di uno dei massimi esponenti del percussionismo afroamericano: basti citare il fondamentale apporto ad alcuni dei più alti esiti artistici di Cecil Taylor a cavallo tra gli anni '60 e '70.
Eccitato con parsimonia provocatrice da Cyrille, il suo suono avvicina soglie rumoristiche, dove velluto e potenza stridono in un intreccio felicemente irrisolto.
Cyrille distende ritmi frastagliati e complessi, stesi, con perfetto dosaggio di linea e alea, su una tavolozza percussiva versatilissima, ampliata - in un vibrante duo con Grimes - sino alle guance!

The band is similar to the one on "Unit Structures" in that it features Cyrille, Silva, Grimes and Lyons.
Indeed, the climate at Blue Note in Alfred Lion's last years was very open-minded and favored the experimental, and Taylor must have relished this freedom.
His group of Bill Dixon on trumpet, Jimmy Lyons on alto sax, Henry Grimes and Alan Silva on bass, and Andrew Cyrille on drums is the perfect vehicle to put forth Taylor's eccentric, multi-layered free jazz vision.

 The Squid's Ear
Although they shared the bandstand on Marion Brown’s seminal Afternoon of a Georgia Faun lp, issued on ECM in 1970, their main prior recorded collaboration was when Cyrille held the drum chair for the quintet that produced the fine Eight (+3) Tristano Compositions 1989 for hat ART.
As evidenced by the several Cyrille pieces and two new ones from Braxton, some amount of preparation was apparently undertaken for this session and while, at times, this appears to pay off, too often it sounds like just another blowing date, Braxton-style.
With many drummers this would be a plus but Cyrille is often at his most excitingly creative when he operates at full bore (i.e., the obvious multitude of examples with Cecil Taylor).

 Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music at Empty Bottle : Andrew Sternberg : Music - Centerstage Chicago
"Music is the architecture of sound against silence," insisted percussionist Andrew Cyrille as I walked into the Empty Bottle and whispered "one Blue Ribbon," awaking the bartender from his atmospheric trance.
Andrew Cyrille brought not only his lyrical brand of percussion to the festival, but also his experience as a university professor in California, giving a history lesson of sorts before each solo composition he performed on drums.
Kenny Clarke, who was the main innovator of the improvisational bop style of drumming in the late 40s, had worked with Cyrille, and he did not hide the influence and guidance Clarke adorned him with.

It's a studio recording with trumpeter Leo Smith, reed player Larry Ochs, and drummer Andrew Cyrille, all band leaders in their own right.
The album starts with the three-part "Thanksgiving Suite" in which Lindberg (mainly on bowed bass) performs a duet with each member of the group: "At Home" with Larry Ochs on soprano sax; "Mellot" with drummer Andrew Cyrille; and "Dreaming At" with Leo Smith playing muted trumpet.
Lindberg takes a bass solo while Cyrille strokes the drums, then the horns come in again, followed by more of Lindberg's bass solo with percussion, and ends with a reprise of the introduction.
