Art Taylor - Taylor's Wailers

You might have heard of Art Taylor or maybe you have not. If you had then you probably heard him on a bunch of Coltrane records or perhaps somewhere else. He did a lot of drumming in his days with a lot of important people on a lot of great records. After all those features and groups you kinda get the will to do something on your own. So you invite a bunch of friends to a studio and you jam. But there's no stress because it's a friendly and known environment where you and your friends just sit back and have fun with some tunes.

That's basically what this album is. It's a meeting of good friends who all play their instruments masterfully. It was his debut album in 1956 but he didn't release a lot of albums under his own name so to have the opportunity to hear where he's in charge is great.

If you're into some nice jazz jamming be sure to get this hidden (or is it?) gem. Oh and Coltrane only plays on track two in case you're getting this just because it says Coltrane on the cover.

New one.
