Chris Taylor: Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Read "Chris Taylor: Never Make Your Move Too Soon" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It's taken 30 years, but you can't rush something if it's not there. Chris Taylor's debut recording as leader, Nocturnal (Abstract Logix, 2011), is the result of the direction his composing has led him these last two or three years, but it could be seen in a wider context as the accumulated experience of three decades ...
