Sam “The Man” Taylor, with his expressive tenor saxophone and keen interpretive instincts, proves that there is great depth in simplicity. This album, quiet and unassuming though it may be, is a reminder that jazz’s power lies not only in its complexity but also in its capacity to touch the soul. In that regard, Taylor succeeds magnificently.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn an era when attention spans are short and playlists are crowded with algorithm-driven choices, Taylor’s album asks the listener to slow down. To savor the sound of a breath through a horn. To re-experience familiar melodies as if they were being whispered for the first time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Arranged By - Oliver Nelson\u003cbr\u003eTenor Saxophone - Sam \"The Man\" Taylor*\u003cbr\u003eBass - Art Davis\u003cbr\u003eDrums -Ed Shaughnessy\u003cbr\u003eGuitar - Wally Richardson\u003cbr\u003ePiano - Lloyd Mayers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecorded By Rudy Van Gelder at Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey February 20, 1962\u003cbr\u003eSourced from a 2-track tape\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for Transfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAnalog: Transferred using a modified Studer 810 tape deck with Flux Heads feeding a Merrill Tape Preamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital: Merging Hapi Analog to Digital Converter clocked by an Antelope Audio 10MX Atomic Clock\u003cbr\u003eSoftware;
