Pieces of Time is an album by jazz drummers Kenny Clarke, Andrew Cyrille, Milford Graves, and Famoudou Don Moye. It was recorded in September 1983, and was released by the Soul Note label in 1984. The album, the catalyst for which was Cyrille, presents compositions by all four musicians, along with four two-minute "personal statements." Liner notes were provided by Max Roach, who wrote: "This idea of four percussionists, using sounds as their premise in creating a work as profound as Pieces of Time, is pure artistic design." "Laurent," Kenny Clarke's contribution, is dedicated to his son, and is a 32-bar bebop composition in AABA form. "Nibaldi Isle," by Moye, utilizes a variety of bells, shakers, and sound effects, yielding what Cyrille called "almost like a music of tones that would take you to a certain avenue or place. Some kind of place like Polynesia and/or Indonesia..." According to Cyrille, his "No. 11" is based on the fact that he was born in November, the eleventh month, and involves "a nucleus, a motif of.. eleven sounds. And I could play them any way I wanted but it would be eleven sounds orchestrated with eleven attacks." Graves's "Energy Cycles" is a three-part piece with both structured and free-form sections, and features vocalizations by the composer. "Drum Song For Leadbelly," by Cyrille, is an adaptation of a blues song by Huddie Leadbetter, and was also recorded by Cyrille and saxophonist Bill McHenry for their 2016 album Proximity.
