The Horizon Venture: Giant steps; one jazz warrior’s deep space exploration
After African History Month comes The Horizon Venture; one AfroPean vision of the future, expressing ideas of citizenship and humanity as they relate to us now, and as they will relate to us when we discover worlds beyond our own.
“Taylor’s glorious, deeply groove-heavy lines got plenty of space…a welcome new departure for the talented bassist”. – Stephen Graham, www.jazzwisemagazine.com
