Wildflower / Guiding Light
JTQ Return to Acid Jazz⊠At the very birth of Acid Jazz there was the James Taylor Quartet. Hammond player extraordinaire James Taylor was fresh from the split of The Prisoners when he recorded Herbie Hancockâs âTheme From Blow Upâ and signed with Eddie Pillerâs Re-Elect The President label, the precursor of Acid Jazz.
In 1993, after albums for Polydor and Big Life, Acid Jazz and James hooked up again and released In The Hand Of The Inevitable, for many the finest JTQ album. In between the label acted as Jamesâ management, and ever since they've bumped into each other at gigs, festivals and radio stations.
In March this year James found himself backstage at the Royal Albert Hall - The Brand New Heavies were about to take the stage - with Acid Jazzâs Eddie Piller and Dean Rudland and a plot was hatched. BNow comes Jamesâ return to the label with a brand new 7-inch single: âWildflowerâ b/w âGuiding Lightâ.Â
The A-side is Bossa-nova tinged slice of sunshine pop featuring Jamesâ vocals. It sounds like an old private-press 45, unearthed in a dank warehouse basement in Oregon, and is another JTQ classic. The flip takes us into jazz funk territory.
