Free Music Review: A masterpiece of the highest form
Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't know it was possible to play as well as Martin Taylor does. He successfully carries 3 voices (at least) through every song, with perfect time and a creativity that breathes new life into classic tunes. His playing is always tasteful, and he never bothers to make something more complicated than it needs to be just because he can. For players, this album will be a source of inspiration, and for listeners this album will be a source of timeless enjoyment. If you like jazz guitar at all, don't think another second before picking up a copy of this album.
I cannot overstate how amazing this album is - truly it is one of the greatest solo guitar albums of all time. On par with "Solo Guitar" by Ted Greene. Martin Taylor may well be the finest fingerstyle player performing today. Ratings and words cannot do justice to this recording. This album deserves more than five stars. Simply magical.
In Concert Poster
Solo jazz guitar is notoriously difficult. To keep melody, harmony, and rhythm going simultaneously within an improvisatory context demands prodigious technical skill--it's no accident that one of Joe Pass's best solo records is called Virtuoso. That Martin Taylor possesses such skill is undeniable; his breakneck, witty, syncopated rendering of "I Got Rhythm" provides proof enough. Where his talent shines, however, is in the complete independence of his melody lines, with him sounding at times like a soloist playing with a busy, slightly frenetic accompanist--sort of like Art Tatum accompanying Bill Evans. Because of the precision of Taylor's execution and the pristine quality of his guitar tone--all the more amazing in this live context--this is not as disconcerting as you might think. Technique aside, his rendering of the romantic "Why Did I Choose You?" reveals a much more important aspect of the guitarist's art; like his hero, Django Reinhardt, Taylor can stir the emotions. --Michael RossJazz Music CDs
