Mike Taylor was a very early, avant-garde/Brit-jazz pianist and composer who is barely remembered at all for his two incredibly rare albums (this, recorded in the fall of 1965, is the first of the two and probably the better of the two, but both are good).
If he is remembered at all, it is for co-writing 3 songs on Wheels of Fire with Ginger Baker (three good ones too!: Passing the Time, Those Were the Days and Press Rat and Warthog). Between the time that this album was released and he began work on his second and final album, Trio, he became a binge user of LSD and his life and career fell apart before his body eventually washed up on shore in January, 1969.
This is the first-ever vinyl reissue of this album, out of print for almost six decades, it features great players who were dilligent and tuned into Mike’s unique vision! An ESSENTIAL release for Brit-jazz fans.
