* The Complete ABC Paramount LP The New Billy Taylor Trio
* Billy Taylor’s Complete Trio Recordings From the Atlantic LP The Billy Taylor Touch
Billy Taylor’s 1956-1958 trio with Earl May and Ed Thigpen was one of the most consistently excellent and underrated piano/bass/drums trios of the period. This release contains the final twelve of the eighteen tracks that the three musicians recorded together within the trio format. Upon leaving Taylor’s trio at the end of 1958, Thigpen joined Oscar Peterson’s trio with Ray Brown, which is widely revered as one of the finest piano trios in the history of the idiom. The music featured here is of the same calibre.
The music on this reissue of Billy Taylor Trio with Earl May & Ed Thigpen, which was an LP originally put out by ABC/Paramount, adds four selections from a set made for Atlantic, is all of the music recorded by the trio of Billy Taylor, Earl May and Ed Thigpen. The musicians also recorded with larger groups, but not in the trio format, which is a pity because this band from 1957 was one of Taylor's strongest. The pianist is heard in prime form throughout, really digging into "There Will Never Be Another You," "Will You Still Be Mine?" and his "Titoro," playing at his most boppish. Earl May and Ed Thigpen are alert and inspiring in support of the pianist. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Billy Taylor
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jul 24, 1921 in Greenville, NC
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Ballads, Hard Bop, Mainstream Jazz, Standards
Billy Taylor has been such an articulate spokesman for jazz, and his profiles on CBS' Sunday Morning television program (where he has been a regular since 1981) are so successful at introducing jazz to a wider audience, that sometimes one can forget how talented a pianist he has been for the past half-century. While not an innovator, Taylor has been flexible enough to play swing, bop, and more advanced styles while always retaining his own musical personality. After graduating from Virginia State College in 1942, he moved to New York and played with such major musicians as Ben Webster, Eddie South, Stuff Smith (with whom he recorded in 1944), and Slam Stewart, among others. In 1951, he was the house pianist at Birdland and soon afterward Taylor formed his first of many trios. He helped found the Jazzmobile in 1965; in 1969, became the first black band director for a network television series (The David Frost Show); in 1975, he earned his doctorate at the University of Massachusetts; and he both founded and served as director for the popular radio program Jazz Alive. But despite his activities in jazz education, Taylor has rarely gone long between performances and recordings, always keeping his bop-based style consistently swinging and fresh.
