Art Taylor - Taylor's Wailers (Hybrid SACD)

In 1956, drummer Art Taylor formed his own band, Taylor's Wailers. On board were trumpeter Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, and for their first gig they were booked directly by the organizer of the legendary Open Door Sessions, Bob Reisner, at The Pad, a nightclub in Sheridan Square in Greenwich Village. Then, when Taylor was scheduled to record for the Prestige label in 1957, he ordered alto saxophonist Jackie McLean to join Taylor's Wailers.
