Te Deum
As keyboard maestro James Taylor arrives at his 40th year leading his Quartet, he has re-signed with his original label Acid Jazz and is embarking on a series of the most radical projects he has ever worked on.
Following his first classical album Shadows and Dreams earlier this year, he brings the Quartet together for a remarkable new album.
Te Deum sets the ancient, 4th-entury Christian text to intense jazz, funk, and Latin grooves. The music sees the James Taylor Quartet working alongside the children of the Benenden Chapel Choir, and a guest horn section and legendary Acid Jazz percussionist Snowboy.
Lead track âHave Mercy On Usâ mixes Brazilian samba with Gregorian chants, âThe Comforterâ sounds like a Donald Byrd with voices Blue Note Records experiment, and last yearâs radio favourite âWildflowerâ mixes bossa nova with sunshine pop harmonies and a positive message.
