Marcus Taylor

Marcus Taylor is a guitarist, bassist, percussionist, composer and academic who produces music under the banner of Kashgar. With two album releases that explore the interface of jazz, rock and world stylings, Marcus has clearly been influenced by Santana through to John McLaughlin, Al di Meola and other 70s fusion pioneers. As a composer, he has consistently sought to craft a unique sound and is drawn to a wide range of musical styles to serve as points of inspiration. At any given time you might find Marcus listening to contemporary Nepalese folk music, Miles Davis or 70s progressive rock. His other musical ventures as both player and composer include the progressive rock band Broken Parachute and the jazz-pop band Crosswinds. He normally lives in Kingston, Canada.
