Synopsis

Album Description
Virtuoso guitarist Martin Taylor first came to prominence in the late 1970s through his collaborations with legendary violinist Stephane Grappelli. Now, he tours the world's concert halls with his dazzling live performances. Although inspired initially by Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt, it was to be piano players, most notably Art Tatum and Bill Evans, who caught his imagination and set him on the path of developing his own individual style of solo playing!

Scottish Fingers Master the Fretboard
Nathan Wirth | 07/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Martin Taylor first gained attention for his guitar work with Stephane Grappelli. Since then, however, he has grown into a true standout in the virtuoso guitar genre. On GYPSY Taylor takes his wonderful Django Reinhardt inspired group on a trip the melodies one might expect to hear out in the fields where the gypsies play. The cd is mix of live and studio tracks and one get a true sense that Taylor's fingerwork is simply stunning-- particulalry on the beautiful and festive medley of songs on the first track. Be sure and check out this fine album."
