Description
COLUMBIA SX 6042. MONO. THIS IS; Mike Taylor’s debut album ‘Pendulum’ was recorded at Lansdowne Studios under the supervision of Denis Preston, the UK’s premier jazz producer. Taylor’s idiosyncratic style and approach to arrangement transforms such standards as ‘A Night in Tunisia’ into a 13 minute epic of some of the most inventive piano improvisation, as the same can be of Dave Tomlin's sax work!............. Tony Reeves bass............................ John Hiseman, drums.
Part of the ‘Lansdowne Series’ of recordings, ‘Pendulum’ showcased the talents of the extraordinarily talented Taylor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a brief bio~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taylor’s life was plagued with tragedy, his parents were killed in a car crash and he was raised by his grandparents, working as a salesman for this grandfather’s wallpaper company to get by. As well as a superb jazz artist, Taylor’s unique lyrical approach contributed to the canon of seminal rock super-group Cream (both Ginger Baker & Jack Bruce had played with Taylor pre-Cream days). Taylor succumbed to mental illness and finally committed suicide in 1969 leaving a tragically small body of work......................his inventive structures and ideas, remains one of the most individual in British jazz.
