Search - James Taylor Quartet :: Mission Impossible

Let's get this sorted straight out of the blocks, all right? It's not that James Taylor. None of that fire, rain, or softly sentimental crap here. The James Taylor Quartet are the band you play at your party when you want everyone to start frugging. It's that groovy '60s vibe, heavy on the Hammond B-3, getting funky on the theme from Blow Up, Mission Impossible, or Goldfinger--just like those albums your parents put on when folks used to gather in the rathskeller and twist the night away. It demands a sharp, three button suit, a skinny tie, and shined shoes for admission, then lets you dance and sweat through all the clothing. This album appeared ten years ago in England, but as the band tours, it's finding its first release here, and you know what? It's still way ahead of the curve. Be there or be square. --Chris Nickson
