Das James Taylor Quartet kam Ende der 80er bis Anfang der 90er Jahre durch ihre Acid Jazz Veröffentlichungen zu Erfolg und Ruhm, ähnlich wie die Brand New Heavies. Und auch das James Taylor Quartet ist bis in die heutige Zeit aktiv. Auf dieser schönen Zusammenstellung auf 2 CDs sind ihre grössten Hits enthalten: Keep On Moving und Mission Impossible sind ebenso vertreten, wie auch die grossartige Booker T. and the M.G.s Coverversion Green Onions . The James Taylor Quartet rode the late-Eighties/early-Nineties acid-jazz wave to find well-deserved fame alongside the likes of the Brand New Heavies - and, like that band, are still very much around today. Modelled on Sixties instrumental icons Booker T. and the M.G.'s, and led by eponymous keyboardist Taylor, they have long since shrugged off the coincidence of names with the veteran US singer-songwriter. There's a fine live cover of that Booker T. and the M.G.'s 'Green Onions' here, but the rest of the music is distinctively and unashamedly their own. The current line-up teams the main man with Chris Montague (guitar), Andrew McKinney (bass) and Adam Betts (drums), although recordings and live performances feature a horn section comprising John Willmott (tenor sax/flute) and Nick Smart (trumpet), along with vocalist Yvonne Yanney.
