James Taylor Quartet — artist
The James Taylor Quartet is a British band known for their dynamic blend of acid jazz, funk, and soul. Formed in the late 1980s by organist James Taylor, the group draws notable influences from 1960s and 1970s jazz-funk, particularly the works of artists like Jimmy Smith and Booker T. & the M.G.'s. Their sound is defined by groovy Hammond organ riffs, energetic rhythms, and a penchant for blending jazz improvisation with danceable beats. The quartet has maintained a strong presence in the jazz scene, consistently delivering vibrant live performances and recordings.
