Live in Bologna is a live album by Cecil Taylor recorded in Bologna on November 3, 1987 and released on the Leo label. The album features a concert performance by Taylor with Thurman Barker, William Parker, Carlos Ward and Leroy Jenkins.
The Allmusic review by Stephen Cook states "Although this is a great Taylor release, certainly essential for fans, Live in Bologna might not be the best disc for newcomers. Curious listeners should start with either of Taylor's mid-'60s Blue Note discs (Unit Structures and Conquistador!), or check out later titles like 1986's live solo piano recording For Olim and his A&M trio date In Floresence".[2]
The compact disc reissue of this album omits the encore at the end and edits about five minutes of music form what was side two of the original 2-LP set.
