Summary

An autobiographical account in the style of a road diary, this entertaining book covers Martin Taylor's life and career almost by default as it moves from anecdote to anecdote about life with Count Basie and his Orchestra, Michel Legrand, Peggy Lee, Yehudi Menuhin and Nelson Riddle, John Patitucci and Brazilian percussionist Paulinho Da Costa, Bill Wyman's Rhythm, Georgie Fame, Gary Brooker and Albert Lee. The book coincides with the release of Martin's first album on Sony, which is the result of such high record sales on the Sony Jazz label.
