He has also written and recorded a whole plethora of albums, often coming from a broad musical perspective. Ranging from Funk to Jazz to Soul to Rock and even choral projects, of late incorporating a full orchestra into many recordings and even transferring this onto the stage successfully at The Barbican, The Alexander Palace and The Cadogan Hall, amongst other classical venues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor was the pioneering force that spear-headed the Acid Jazz movement in the 90’s, which saw a renaissance in live music. He has also virtually single-handedly driven the rediscovery of the Hammond organ, his trademark keyboard. He has developed his composition and arrangement skills and with these has recorded over 20 library albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current live line-up for \u003cstrong\u003eThe James Taylor Quartet\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003eJames Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e (keyboards and orchestration), \u003cstrong\u003eMark Cox\u003c\/strong\u003e (guitar), \u003cstrong\u003eAndrew McKinney\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass) and \u003cstrong\u003ePat Illingworth\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums), although recordings and live performances may include others. The band have developed a strong reputation as a live band, that remains to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most recent of the library albums include the four tracks on this very EP, which feature Taylor’s innovative horn arrangement skills, placing JB style horns over a funk groove, but in this case he had the novel idea of incorporating two guitars; one funky, one rocky. Sort of James Brown meets The Rolling Stones, and the result can be heard on this slab of vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
