Russell Malone, Billy Taylor: Jazz Elegance

I had me a lot of fun early this afternoon hearing the finesse jazz guitar man Russell Malone playing with the quite elegant Billy Taylor Trio. The fine composition, 'There Will Never Be Another You' was beautifully interpreted by Russell Malone. What a terrific lyrical approach to Jazz Guitar this guy has. The comping by Billy Taylor on piano....my, my...so EXPRESSIVE, also. This is a tremendous lovely Saturday and grand, shiny jazz music like that propounded by Billy Taylor and Russell Malone makes the day even more memorable.

Billy Taylor.......Jazz Pianist Who Captivates

Billy Taylor is a jazz piano guy with incredible speed. His fingers fly across the keyboard. His 1951 version of 'What Is This Thing Called Love' is sensational. With him on this ditty I dug today was the vivid, powerful man of the bass, the sleek genius, Charles Mingus. The combination of Billy Taylor and Charles Mingus is greatness, indeed! I feel fantastic being able to dig this kind of passionate jazz.
