Music reviews of Kiss & Tell
Music Review: One of Martin Taylor's Critically-Acclaimed Albums
Rating: 5 Stars
Recorded in New City in 1999, Martin Taylor's "Kiss And Tell" was his very first album under Sony Music/Columbia Records. And for the record, this album as well as "Solo" are, according to the guitarist himself, two of his topmost favorites from his impressive discography. That's a plus-factor and it adds up to the album's marketability--a collector's item--I'd say.
To me, they are also my top choices from all of his recordings for obvious reasons. Firstly, I love guitar music as much as I do for piano, violin, trumpet, saxophone, vibraphone and harp music. Secondly, Martin Taylor is such a fine guitarist--any kind of music he plays becomes so pleasing to the ears. Thirdly, it doesn't pale in comparison with his other critically-acclaimed albums. Lastly, it is a very worthy addition to any jazz guitar lover's collection.
It's such a wholesome musical adventure listening to his incredible guitar especially when he is supported by a team of great musicians such as Randy Brecker (trumpet/flugelhorn), Eddie Gomez (bass), Brian Siewert (keyboards), Al Foster (drums), Kirk Whalum (saxophone), among others.
My highlights include a trio of standards "Mona Lisa," "You've Changed" and "The Nearness of You." Also a favorite is his mellow jazz rendition of Maria Muldaur's "Midnight At The Oasis." An unexpected twist is the inclusion of an all-time favorite of mine, "What A Friend We Have In Jesus," which comes as the only version of this beautiful tune with a contemporary flair.
Surprisingly for a guitarist, Mr. Taylor's musical influences were Art Tatum and Bill Evans from whom he drew his inspiration and developed his own style of playing.
What impresses me more from musicians is their involvement in promoting music to school children, encouraging them to explore their inner talents, develop and express them in a positive way and become the best musicians they could ever be. Wynton Marsalis is one of them, another is Chris Botti, and yes, Martin Taylor is surely one of them. He is the founder of "Guitars for Schools," an organization that promotes guitar lessons in primary schools in Scotland. He has donated money to various schools to pay for guitars and tuition fees for school children. So for guitar fans, buying this CD and his other recordings is such a smart decision. Your few bucks will go a long way and help those school children to realize their dreams of becoming great guitarists someday.
Yield to the magic of Martin Taylor's lovely guitar music and you'll have a lifetime of listening enjoyment. With my heartfelt recommendation!
"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning." ~ Plato ~
