SHOWS

In addition to his many years in musical ministry at Upper Room Church – including a performance at Madison Square Garden – Taylor set the stage for his emergence as an artist with years of gigging as rhythm guitarist for smooth jazz/global fusion guitarist Reza Khan. Performing several gigs a year in the New York area, they performed at such venues as Shrine World Music in Harlem, Club Bonafide, B.B. King’s and the Zinc Bar. Another regional venue was The Palace Theater in Waterbury Connecticut. Concurrently, Taylor was lead guitarist for Smilin’ Jack, a popular Top 40, R&B and Motown cover band that had a weekly residency at Elliot’s On the Mile in Freeport, NY – part of the Nautical Mile waterfront community of bars on Long Island. Post pandemic, Taylor is excited about putting a band together to support his contemporary jazz career.
