Guildhall Big Band with Special Guest John Taylor: Pure and Simple

Read "Pure and Simple" reviewed by John Kelman


It would be easy to call Pure and Simple a John Taylor project, since all the charts are his and he's a featured soloist on every track. But, as was the case with the Australian Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra's The Mothership Plays the Music of Mike Nock (Jazzgroove, 2006), that would be a mistake. As part of ...

John Taylor Trio: Rosslyn

Read "Rosslyn" reviewed by Mark Corroto


At age 61, pianist John Taylor has finally made his major label debut as a leader. But then again, Rosslyn doesn't really have a chieftain. Taylor, who has been a sideman since the 1970s, seems not to mind sharing his rostrum with his two bandmates: bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron.The British-born Taylor ...
