Our Take

Strap in, music lovers, because Martin Taylor is back with his latest release, "Double Standards" and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish. Taylor, the virtuoso guitarist known for his impeccable technique and effortless style, brings us a collection of jazz standards like you've never heard before.

From the moment the first notes of "All of Me" hit your ears, you know you're in for something special. Taylor's masterful fingerpicking and smooth phrasing are on full display, reminding us all why he's considered one of the best in the business. And don't even get me started on his rendition of "Autumn Leaves" – it's pure magic.

But what really sets "Double Standards" apart is Taylor's willingness to take risks and push boundaries. Tracks like "So What" and "Take Five" see him experimenting with different time signatures and arrangements, creating a fresh and exciting take on these classic tunes.

Sure, there are moments where Taylor's virtuosity can feel a bit overwhelming, but overall "Double Standards" is a triumph. It's a reminder that jazz music is alive and well, and in the hands of a talent like Martin Taylor, it's never been more exciting. So, do yourself a favor and give this album a listen – you won't regret it.
