Mark Taylor is one of the preeminent French horn players on the jazz scene today. In addition to his own groups, Taylor performs and/or has recorded with jazz icons including Muhal Richard Abrams, Henry Threadgill, Hamiet Bluiett, and Max Roach. QuietLand is one of the last recordings of the historic Chicago bassist Fred Hopkins and includes Hopkin's gorgeous, yet rarely heard, bowed accompaniment.
"Mark Taylor is a virtuoso instrumentalist... there is no one dealing with the French horn or the music the way Mark is doing."
--- Max Roach |
