Had to do a double take there - I just recognised the drummer. I was sitting right next to (and chatting with) Steve when he was playing with Scott Hamilton at Pizza Express in Dean St. in January. He is an excellent drummer and a really nice guy.
This must be one of the best smooth jazz combinations with the talent and expertise that exists.Absolutely adorable music to listen to.I love the interplay and solo talent performed. Both the CD and DVD of the album Freternity is a must for buying.
i Played with Martin when he was about Eighteen years Old . He was more than promising. His ablility and musicality were conspicuouslly evident. Since Then he just gets Better and Better. Guy Barker has a good command of his instrument, sounds original and also makes music. Complimants to all in this accomplished group. Phil Thomas.
hi people, does any one knows whats the name of the thecnique martin displays from 5:58 to 6:02? i heard this kind of playing several times in different jazz records, its interesting. It looks like a fast playing up and down strokes but idk if got some special care about execution. Thanks u all!
Hey lol llolloll! I just watched this for the first time, and saw your question here. SInce it was 8 months ago since you asked this question, you may have already found the info you're looking for. BUt if not, here you go; What Martin is doing here is playing octaves, a technique used extensively by Wes Montgomery. In this case, he is playing 2 "D' notes, one octave apart, the higher one on the 2nd (B) string, 15th fret, and the lower one on the 4th (D) string, 12th fret. Well he is strumming very fast here, the main goal is to mute the other strings so they give you a percussive fill while not interfering with the actual D notes. Having said that, once you get the feel for this, you can also add a middle note ascending and/or descending, as Martin does here. Here's a link to better study this: www.premierguitar.com/articles/wes-montgomery-octaves-1 Cheers!

Effortless and smooth...that is Martin's superb skill.
I must say I adore the music of Martin Taylor in this quintet format. Beautiful!

Old zazz good
who's the horn player?
Martin is GREAT as usual, and the band sounds great. But, I've never seen an upright bass player who plucks with 1 finger only..! Odd....M
1:53 don't panic!
Watch it again! Always one!
Index and middle finger used there.
Unless you mean at any one time? In which case, yes, he does.
