Billy Taylor – Music Keeps Us Young (Signed by Billy Taylor)

“Billy Taylor: The Music Keeps Us Young” showcases music legend and Grammy Award winner Dr. Billy Taylor, a pianist who has stood at the forefront of the Jazz world for more than half a century. At the peak of his powers and performing with his trio that includes Chip Jackson on bass and drummer Steve Johns, Taylor brings matchless grace and authority to his robust and inventive originals, as well as his interpretations of standards composed by John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, and Johnny Green, among others.

“Taylor weaves wonderful magic on the keyboard. It is jazz the way jazz ought to be.” – Don Adderton, Sun Herald

“UNBELIEVABLE! This album is absolutely fascinating. Billy Taylor’s sound is so refreshing, elegant, stimulating and truly AMAZING. Once this CD is on you will not be able to turn it off until the end. I was in a complete trance the first time I put it on and after continuous listening I am in even more awe at Billy’s incredible piano performance. This cat SWINGS! So, pick up this splendid title, sit back and relax to a dazzling performance. MAJESTIC!” – Paul Parietti, Fascinating Voyage
