Mike Taylor

Two albums by British jazz composer/pianist/bandleader Mike Taylor are being reissued on vinyl for the first time since their original release! [Pendulum" (1966) and "Trio" (1967). Part of Decca's British Jazz Explosion series, these important recordings have long been sought after on vinyl by collectors and connoisseurs, with the original vinyl editions of both titles now fetching over £1,000. In addition to Taylor on "Pendulum," the quartet consists of John Heesman (drums), Tony Reeves (bass), and Dave Tomlin (saxophone). It was recorded at Lansdowne Studios under the supervision of Dennis Preston. These new editions were remastered at Gearbox Studios in London using the original tapes (or high-resolution digital source files taken from the original tapes), transferred to a Studer open-reel tape machine, and then transferred to an all-valve The recording was mastered using an analog mastering desk.The 180gm LP is housed in a 350gsm brown kraftboard sleeve. With extensive liner notes (12x12, 4-page insert) by British jazz expert Tony Higgins, who became a fascinating figure in the development of British jazz as the years passed, the story is like a grand opera, with exceptional music, high drama, mental The story is like a grand opera, encompassing exceptional music, high drama, mental illness, drugs, and untimely death. Ronald Michael Taylor was born in 1938 in west London, just a stone's throw from the clubs and coffeehouses of the West End, and began performing around 1961. Those who know him say, "When he is not tapping his keyboard, he is a very reserved presence ...... He has been described as "neither aggressive nor outgoing by nature. In his sleeve notes, however, Tony Reeves wrote that Taylor "occupied a unique musical space. He was avant-garde, but not perfect. He could arrange standards ... He could have started in a completely different way. Pendulum" was released in May 1966 and received a positive response from critics, but Taylor refused to promote it, preferring to let the music "speak for itself. "By the time "Trio" was released 13 months later, Taylor's marriage was falling apart and her drug use was increasing. Taylor's accelerating mental and physical decline coincided with the release of Cream's 1968 hit album, Wheels of Fire. Taylor had co-written three songs on the album with drummer and former bandmate Ginger Baker, but even the financial rewards and the prospect of commercial success could not halt Taylor's deterioration. He remained unidentified for a week. ＜Mike Taylor (p) Dave Tomlin (sax) Tony Reeves (b) John Hiseman (ds)
