Taylor Mark - After Hours

Facts Saxophonist Mark Taylor and label mates RadioAction recorded this eight track session in Brooklyn in Jan. 2002. Opening with Monk's "Bye Ya," they serve notice that they are as entrenched in a modern style as they are reverential of the masters. Following a strong opening statement by Taylor, pianist Whitney Ashe delivers a muscular solo augmented by the powerful rhythm team of drummer Matt Jorgensen and bassist Gary Wang. This appealing and challenging disc of originals and future standards is a thoroughly enjoyable set. - Jazz Review. Originally released in 2002.
