Audiophile Imports, LTD :: Updates :: June 2011 :: CHRIS TAYLOR-NOCTURNAL

::: CHRIS TAYLOR-NOCTURNAL :::

NOCTURNAL

2011 release. Seemingly from out of nowhere, New York-based guitarist-composer Chris Taylor has emerged after nearly 30 years on the scene with a brilliant, fully-realized first album as a leader. Reflecting the influences of such potent bands as Weather Report, Tribal Tech and Zawinul Syndicate, as well as such guitar icons as John Scofield, Bill Frisell and Allan Holdsworth, Taylor’s compelling album also stakes out strikingly original territory. Taylor is ably supported on his maiden voyage by a stellar crew featuring drummers Gary Novak, Dave Weckl, Joel Rosenblatt and Kirk Covington, keyboardists George Whitty and Scott Kinsey, bassists Ric Fierabracci and Gary Haase, and saxophonist Steve Taviglione. From cinematic offerings like “Voices in Recluse” to super-charged jams like “Ear to the Rail,” “Know What I’m Saying,” “Odd Hours” and anthemia “Here to There,” Nocturnal resonates with audacious energy and ideas. Guest musicians include: Tracey Kroll, E drums; Kevin Freeby, bass; John Findley, keyboards and John Czajkowski, baritone guitar.
