In 1956 drummer Art Taylor formed a group called Taylor’s Wailers.

Donald Byrd and Charlie Rouse were members of the working group that debuted at The Pad, a Greenwich Village nightclub on Sheridan Square booked by Bob Reisner, the man who had run the legendary Open Door Sessions.

In 1957 Taylor recorded the Wailers for Prestige, adding the alto saxophone of Jackie McLean to the front line.

Two of the highlights are the Thelonious Monk compositions, “Well, You Needn’t” and “Off Minor,” with arrangements by Thelonious himself.

One track, “C.T.A.,” by Jimmy Heath, is from another session featuring John Coltrane backed by Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Taylor, a potent Prestige studio combination in those days.

There have been many distinguished drummer-leaders in jazz. One expects their groups to be rhythmically exciting. Taylor’s Wailers are no exception to this swinging heritage.

Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I’d say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.

Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

JAZZ

Jazz music is a genre that originated in the African American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for its complex harmonies, syncopated rhythms, and improvisational elements. It encompasses a range of styles and has profoundly influenced other music genres, offering a rich tapestry of sounds from swing to modern jazz fusion.
