Fragment

John Cratchley Great to have this music back in wider circulation again...John Taylor is sadly missed (at least by this listener)...he was a truly world class musician and his compositions stand the test of time.
The music on this release sounds fresh and new minted...like the day it was made...and totally contemporary.

billiephons Great to hear this era of music by John Taylor, Kenny, Stan and the others.

about

Previously only available on tape cassette in 1975, now remastered and available as a download and on limited edition CD for the first time. Released with the cooperation of Chris Laurence, Stan Sulzmann, Chris Bolton Levin, Mark Wheeler, Norma Winstone and John Taylor’s sons.

This is John Taylor’s third album as leader. John’s first was ‘Pause, And Think Again’, released on Turtle Records in 1971. Stan Sulzmann, Kenny Wheeler, Chris Pyne, Chris Laurence and Tony Levin make up the sextet on both albums (with Norma Winstone added on voice on the first album). John Taylor’s second album, which was released in 1973, between these two larger group albums, was a trio album called ‘Decipher’, this time on MPS records. That again included Chris Laurence and Tony Levin in the rhythm section.
