Jazz & Standards from the 40's & 50's is the focus of KTJ, who primarily works as a quintet. Vocalist, Kayla Taylor is joined by long-time music partner & guitarist, Steve Moore; drummer, Mike Zimmerman; upright Bassist - Patrick Cowan; and saxophonist - Will Scruggs.

Taylor & Moore made their way through the 90's in rock bands "A Fine Line" (also with Zimmerman) and "OneWithout" and in an acoustic duo affectionately known as "The Adventures of Kayla & Steve". The team formed a jazz & standards combo 3 years ago and developed a very loyal following at a favorite haunt - "Pacific & Vine". The album was recorded in the middle of dinner rush on Saturday, November 6, 2004. "Pacific & Vine" was a great place for us to play. The food was great, the staff was great, the bartenders & servers totally rocked and the people we met there - well, at the rate of sounding 'hokey' - it was just a magical time," says Kayla.

Sadly, a corporate decision led to the closure of Pacific & Vine on April 25, 2005. The fun and good times linger on with Kayla Taylor Jazz's "A Night at Pacific & Vine". The album is truly live and will definately transport you to the venue - bar sounds, audience chatter, orders being placed - and there amidst the clatter - a jazz band plays and sells us a piece of themselves to hold in our hearts.
