Leaf Palm Hand is a live album featuring a performance by Cecil Taylor and Tony Oxley recorded in Berlin on July 17, 1988 as part of month long series of concerts by Taylor and released on the FMP label.[2]
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "There's no letup for the entire set; it's one dazzling display after another until the piece just implodes from exhaustion — physical, that is, as the ideas still come fast and furious — and leaves the listener dazed and awed by such a soulful yet pyrotechnic display. This is one of Cecil Taylor's most "melodic" improvisations ever".[3]
