Description
Recorded live at the 28th annual conference of the International Association for Jazz Education, in 2001 in NY City.
A pioneer of the jazz trio format, Taylor, along with bassist Chip Jackson and drummer Winard Harper, presented a heartfelt, very personal program here. His masterful, improvisational style and signature use of stride elements made for a most memorable performance best described by Taylor himself: “This concert was really a tribute to my friends and colleagues who were named the NEA Jazz Masters of 2001: John Lewis, Jackie McLean and Randy Weston. The audience consisted largely of IAJE members and their extended families, affording me a rare occasion to performfor a roomful of my peers.”
