I've always been intrigued by Cecil Taylor. But I don't know where to begin. I rarely come across his work in record stores and have never seen his name as a member of a band. What gives?

Just start from the beginning, really. His early albums, while they do give a glimpse into his more free side which he'd explore later in his career, are also quite firmly in the bop idiom. He only got wilder as his career progressed.
The World of Cecil Taylor was what captured me.
Many sources have March 25, 1929 as date of birth. I wonder if Cecil ever clarified that in an interview...
Cecil is great, he's one of those few from whose music flows like a stream of water
Genious.
