    One of the greatest pianist and composer of jazz piano, whose harmonic wizardry was astonishing.
    Thank you, maestro, for all the poetry you gifted us.

    Quite a shock. I was involved in organising a series of workshops with Taylor for September. Can't quite believe he won't be there. Terrible loss.

    A well-written and sensitive obituary for John in the Guardian.

    So, I can not believe, recently I bought the album "Breve" - the beauty and serenity of the art of the jazz ballad at its apex. The three, Hayden Chisholm - alto saxophone, Matt Penman - bass and John Taylor - piano, take part in a pristine, richly textured chamber music. Yes, it's a really lovely album. Taylor, of course, is in great shape.
    I'm terribly sorry. British piano legend.

    thanks to Andy for this fine concert of GREAT John Taylor !

    May the files of the 1978 NDR Jazz-Worlshop #132 with Azimuth be available ?
    Would be a superb memorial of both John Taylor and Kenny Wheeler to have this workshop posted...
