After a long string of outstanding CDs, this uneven effort is a bit of a disappointment. Martin Taylor is one of the top jazz guitarists around, but by adding dull smooth jazz saxophonist Kirk Whalum and Brian Siewert's cheesy keyboards and dreadful programming to David Newton's "Kiss And Tell," the title cut ends up sounding like any number of generic pop jazz recordings. Likewise, the bland version of the trite "Midnight at the Oasis" will not impress long time Taylor fans. Fortunately, Whalum does acquit himself somewhat on tenor sax during his duet with the leader of "The Nearness of You." The remainder of the CD is a mixed bag. High points include Taylor's solos of "Mona Lisa" and "What A Friend We Have In Jesus; " while covers of old TV themes like "The Odd Couple" and "Five-O" with keyboardist Matt Rollings and company have little to offer. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide

Since the death of Joe Pass in 1994, Martin Taylor has become one of the most highly regarded guitarists in jazz. He was given his first guitar by his father, Buck Taylor. Although he was inspired at first by Django Reinhardt, it was piano players like Art Tatum that drew his attention and helped him practice to develop his phenomenal solo technique. In the late '70s, Stephane Grappelli invited him to play in a series of concerts in France. The violinist was so impressed that he used Taylor often on tours and a variety of recording dates. Beginning in 1990, Taylor began recording a number of acclaimed CDs for the U.K. label Linn, distributed as HonestLinn in the U.S., and also did an excellent duet date with David Grisman for the mandolin player's Acoustic Disc label. All that is missing from Taylor's current roster of recordings is a live date, though an excellent concert video is available. In 2000, he released his debut on an American label, Columbia, entitled Kiss and Tell. Stepping Stones on Linn followed that same fall.
