Taylor,Billy Live At Iaje Ny CD

This album was recorded at the 28th annual conference of the International Association for Jazz Education, held on January 13th, 2001 in New York 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 perform for a roomful of my peers."
