Paul Taylor Want's his New CD to Sing June
5, 2007 - Times a good for Paul
Taylor, his new album "Ladies Choice"
made the number one spot on the Billboard Contemporary
Jazz Albums chart in its first and he's been keeping
some pretty good company. The new disc features
some vocal help from American Idol finalist La
Toya London, Grammy winner Regina Belle and
Jazzer Terry Dexter. Taylor loves the extra attention
"Ladies Choice" is receiving, "I
think that's what makes it a little special, because
it's a little different sound for me. I mean you've
still got really good Paul Taylor instrumentals
and really good smooth jazz, but I think with
the three or four vocals that are on this new
CD and with all different vocalists, it kind of
has a little urban AC vibe as well. So that's
a different sound for me, not all my records are
like that, so I'm glad to have a little different
sound on this record." - Kari Graham

Paul
Taylor's "Nightlife" Produces a
Shooting Star March
28, 2005 - A week after release, Peak
Records artist saxophonist Paul
Taylor's new CD "Nightlife"
will make its debut on Billboard's Contemporary
Jazz Chart at 2. The first single, the title
track "Nightlife" has received enthusiastic
response on radio and has been climbing the
Radio and Records charts since its release.
"I feel as though I'm really living my
dream every time I do an album or get up onstage
at a show where people have come to see me,"
says Taylor. "I never envisioned that
my niche would be smooth jazz, but when I
think back to how I idolized Grover and Ronnie,
in a way it makes perfect sense. I love when
people come up to me and say they had a good
time, that I really did a good show. It's
been such an incredible opportunity to play
for them." "Nightlife" is Taylor's
follow up to "Steppin' Out" from
2003. - by Liz
