Historic Concerts is a live album by Cecil Taylor and Max Roach recorded at the McMillin Theatre, Columbia University, NYC on December 15, 1979 and released on the Soul Note label in 1984. The album features solo and duet performances by Taylor and Roach along with interviews recorded after the concert (included only on the CD editions).

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "The passionate music is quite atonal but coherent, with Taylor displaying an impressive amount of energy and the two masters (who had not rehearsed or ever played together before) communicating pretty well".[3]
