Description: ART TAYLOR "TAYLOR'S WAILERS" "ULTIMATE AUDIOPHILE PRESTIGE REISSUES FROM ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS. SOME OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE, RAREST AND BEST SOUNDING RUDY VAN GELDER RECORDINGS EVER MADE. ALL CUT FROM THE ANALOG ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES BY KEVIN GRAY. PRESSED ON 180 GRAM VINYL AT STATE-OF-THE-ART PLANT QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS AND PLATED BY GARY SALSTROM. TIP-ON COVERS ON THICK CARDBOARD STOCK." "IN 1956 DRUMMER ART TAYLOR FORMED A GROUP CALLED "TAYLOR'S WAILERS". DONALD BYRD AND CHARLIE ROUSE WERE MEMBERS OF THE WORKING GROUP THAT DEBUTED AT "THE PAD", A GREENWICH VILLAGE NIGHTCLUB ON SHERIDAN SQUARE BOOKED BY BOB REISNER, THE MAN WHO HAD RUN THE LEGENDARY OPEN DOOR SESSIONS. IN 1957 TAYLOR RECORDED THE WAILERS FOR PRESTIGE, ADDING THE ALTO SAXOPHONE OF JACKIE MCLEAN TO THE FRONT LINE. TWO OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE THE THELONIOUS MONK COMPOSITIONS, "WELL, YOU NEEDN'T" AND "OFF MINOR", WITH ARRANGEMENTS BY THELONIOUS HIMSELF. ONE TRACK, "C.T.A.", BY JIMMY HEATH, IS FROM ANOTHER SESSION FEATURING JOHN COLTRANE BACKED BY RED GARLAND, PAUL CHAMBERS, AND TAYLOR, A POTENT PRESTIGE STUDIO COMBINATION IN THOSE DAYS. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DISTINGUISHED DRUMMER-LEADERS IN JAZZ. ONE EXPECTS THEIR GROUPS TO BE RHYTHMICALLY EXCITING. "TAYLOR'S WAILERS" ARE NO EXCEPTION TO THIS SWINGING HERITAGE."
