Artist Biography by Ron Wynn
A certified honking sax legend, Sam "The Man" Taylor's non-stop drive and power worked perfectly in swing, blues, and R&B sessions. He had a huge tone, perfect timing, and sense of drama, as well as relentless energy and spirit. Taylor began working with Scat Man Crothers and the Sunset Royal Orchestra in the late '30s. He played with Cootie Williams and Lucky Millinder in the early '40s, then worked six years with Cab Calloway. Taylor toured South America and the Caribbean during his tenure with Calloway. Then, Taylor became the saxophonist of choice for many R&B dates through the '50s, recording with Ray Charles, Buddy Johnson, Louis Jordan, and Big Joe Turner, among others. He also did sessions with Ella Fitzgerald and Sy Oliver. During the '60s, Taylor led his own bands and recorded in a quintet called the Blues Chasers. He currently has one session available on CD, recorded in the late '50s with Charlie Shavers and Urbie Green.

Biografía del artista por Ron Wynn
Una leyenda del saxofón, Sam "The Man" Taylor, con su potencia y su conducción ininterrumpida, funcionaba perfectamente en sesiones de swing, blues y R&B. Tenía un tono enorme, una sincronización perfecta y sentido del drama, así como una energía y espíritu implacables. Taylor empezó a trabajar con Scat Man Crothers y la Sunset Royal Orchestra a finales de los años 30. Tocó con Cootie Williams y Lucky Millinder a principios de los 40, y luego trabajó seis años con Cab Calloway. Taylor hizo una gira por Sudamérica y el Caribe durante su estancia en Calloway. Luego, Taylor se convirtió en el saxofonista elegido para muchas fechas de R&B hasta los años 50, grabando con Ray Charles, Buddy Johnson, Louis Jordan y Big Joe Turner, entre otros. También hizo sesiones con Ella Fitzgerald y Sy Oliver. Durante los años 60, Taylor lideró sus propias bandas y grabó en un quinteto llamado The Blues Chasers. Actualmente tiene una sesión disponible en CD, grabada a finales de los 50 con Charlie Shavers y Urbie Green.
