A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. All music written and orchestrated by Taylor himself. This is the logical conclusion of everything the man stood for musically - from Azimuth to Johnny Griffin's band to this luxurious symphonic setting. Stan Sulzmann on soprano and flute as duo partner, weaving through Taylor's turn-of-the-century harmonic colours. Moving from humour to pathos in the blink of an eye. Never before released. Never heard outside of that single 1987 radio broadcast. Sulzmann kept a private copy for decades, knowing this music had to come out. One of the great lost documents of British creative music.
