CHECK OUT A CLIP OF THEIR RECENT VISIT TO RONNIE SCOTT'S JAZZ CLUB HERE https://vimeo.com/152560099
Famed for their upbeat, energetic live shows, British jazz-funk stalwarts, and hugely influential jazz/pop cross over stars, the James Taylor Quartet return to Camden's legendary Jazz Cafe. Taylor's driving Hammond organ has been leading the group for over twenty five years, and the band show no signs of slowing down. Their relentlessly entertaining tunes take their inspiration from boogaloo funk of the sixties and the rare-groove style funk of the seventies.
James Taylor, one of the great British instrumentalists of his generation, has taken his trademark howling Hammond sound to the masses for over 25 years; still famed for its upbeat, energetic live shows... with no sign of slowing down. The band's relentlessly entertaining tunes take inspiration from the rare-groove style funk, and boogaloo funk of the 60s and 70s and, the band is, without a doubt, one of the most important jazz-pop crossover outfits in British live musical history today.
After the collapse of mod legends The Prisoners in the 1980s, and before moving to Sweden, James recorded some demos with brother David on guitar, the bass player from The Prisoners, and a drummer from down the road... and thus The James Taylor Quartet was born.
