Mark Taylor and the BigBand: To the Edge

Read "To the Edge" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


The person who grasps the reins as big band arranger assumes assorted artistic and aesthetic responsibilities--a “structural" engineer, a sound painter, a decision-maker, and quite importantly, a challenger and motivator. The finest purveyors of the craft, both past and present, are all well-aware of these demands. Yet, they relish the opportunity and provide the musical canvas that allows the performers to do their own magic acts. Arranger and performer --it is a symbiotic relationship of the highest creative order.
