James Taylor Quartet - Te Deum - VINYL LP

As keyboard maestro James Taylor arrives at his 40th year leading his Quartet, he has re-signed with his original tag Acid Jazz and is embarking on a series of the most radical projects he has ever worked on. Following his first classical album, Shadows and Dreams earlier this year, he brings the Quartet together for a remarkable new album. Te Deum sets the ancient, 4th-entury Christian text to intense jazz, funk, and Latin grooves. The music sees the James Taylor Quartet working alongside the children of the Benenden Chapel Choir, and a guest horn section and legendary Acid Jazz percussionist Snowboy. Lead track, InchHave Mercy On Us,Inch mixes Brazilian samba with Gregorian chants, InchThe ComforterInch sounds like a Donald Byrd with voices Blue Note Records experiment, and last year's radio favorite InchWildflower,Inch mixes bossa nova with sunshine pop harmonies and a positive message.
