Joe Taylor - Westside Chill (2024)

Veteran Contemporary Jazz guitarist Joe Taylor to release his latest record.

The album, co-produced with multiple Grammy winner Steve Rosenthal, is a funky collection of original tunes with the big, memorable melodies and deep grooves Taylor has been known for since his days as a chart-topping RCA Victor recording artist.

With radio focus on the title cut, Westside Chill, Taylor brings the same heat and elegance that drove his RCA and Moonwatcher releases into the Billboard and Gavin top-five.

Featuring an all-star group of friends (Steve Holley, Jeff Franzel, Woody Lingle, Brian Stanley, John Ragusa), and dynamic young-blood vocalist Jordan Trotter, this record represents Joe’s “best work since his collaboration with Al B. Sure! and the late-great Keith Diamond.”

“A cross between Santana and Metheny, with a touch of Duane Allman thrown in for good measure.” ~ The Los Angeles Times.
