Paul Taylor’s love affair with the saxophone began when he was a kid growing up in his native Denver and his parents enrolled him in a youth band. Lucky for us Paul Taylor’s somewhat clairvoyant band director selected the saxophone for him and Paul never looked back. “In the 70s, my first influences were Grover Washington Jr., Earth, Wind and Fire, Patrice Rushen and Quincy Jones,” reminisces Taylor. “Later it was the Brecker Brothers and David Sanborn but from the very beginning, I wanted to be like Grover Washington, Jr. I wanted to record my own music and tour and be a star in the industry.” All these years later Paul Taylor is living his best life and taking us along for the ride. He concludes, “I am grateful for my fans, and I’m blessed to be playing music for as long as I have. It’s incredible to have a career where I get to work on my craft every day.”
