Sam Taylor Quartet & Larry McKenna – Along The Way

Sam Taylor & Larry McKenna join forces in a jubilant, swinging set of standards. Philly fire meets New York cool.

One of the finer young tenor players on the New York scene in the last decade, Sam Taylor squares off against Philadelphia's acclaimed tenor man, Larry McKenna on "Along The Way." Taylor and the elder McKenna don't musically spar so much as put their equally rich saxophone sounds to good use in a spirited, cooperative effort in a warm program of standards that suits their unfettered bebop style.
