Paul Taylor
Paul Taylor (Solo Piano)
Paul Taylor is an accomplished pianist and keyboard player specialising in improvisation. The music is evocative, alluring and unique; combining unusual harmonies and sonorities with an original and fluid technique.
Paul has emerged as one of the most consistently interesting and innovative solo pianists of recent times, combining elements of jazz improvisation with an unorthodox, harmonically complex and often compellingly beautiful musical language that is often inspired by the classical tradition.
It is music that is both inspiring and relaxing, taking the listener on an immersive journey.
“Brilliant" - Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio 6 (Freak Zone)
"A rare phenomenon” - International Piano Magazine
"A Chopin of the contemporary art music era” - Neil March (Exile FM)
Paul's music can be found on Bandcamp
https://paulstephentaylor.bandcamp.com
"Those hands delineate a high-yielding path inside the secret rooms of a harmony that draws colours and nuances from romantic pasts, transcendental visions, defined yet shifting tonalities...an instrumentalist whose inner depth and speed of translation from intuition to creative act appear to be in direct proportion" - Massimo Ricci (Touching Extremes)
"A very assured work indeed” - Jazzwise
Paul Taylor has previously released two albums through the festival’s associated New Jazz and Improvised Music Recordings project.
