Paul Taylor - Hypnotic - Peak Records

Paul Taylor - More information - Paul Taylor

This is top quality easy to listen to mellow jazz by the excellent Paul Taylor. Starting in mellow mood with Hypnotic and Flight 808, produced by Dino Esposito, before we get funkier with Pt Cruiser. Jeff Lorber produced the next tracks Tuesday Afternoon and the percussive Dream State.

Sunshine introduces the excellent vocals of Kurt Jackson of Pertrait fame with Paul's sax floating over and under. The next two tracks bring in former Rufus guitarist Tony Maiden intertwining with Pauls sax.

Closing with two more Jeff Lorber productions in a slightly funkier vibe. 

With some well chosen guests and great musicianship and good production if mellow hypnotic jazz is your bag then you will not go wrong with this album.
