The James Taylor Quartet return to Rochester Cathedral
For over 30 years, the James Taylor Quartet have set the standard for the coolest sounds in funky acid jazz. On dozens of mighty albums and at their legendary gigs at home and around the world, they’ve quietly become a byword for distinguished British creativity.
James Taylor Quartet
The James Taylor Quartet (or JTQ) are a British four-piece jazz funk band, who have become renowned for their live performances. They were formed in 1987 by Hammond organ player James Taylor following the break-up of his former band The Prisoners in the wake of Stiff Records’ bankruptcy. The current line-up is James Taylor (Keyboards and Orchestration), Mark Cox (guitar), Andrew McKinney (bass) and Pat Illingworth (drums), although recordings and live performances usually feature vocalist Yvonne Yanney.
“I have adored the Cathedral since I was a small child, the calm serene feel of the place, the altered sense of wonder I still get every time I walk through those massive ancient doors. Now as an adult I feel privileged to be able to contribute to the place, making music, helping with the gardens and sitting in evensong feeling renewed and contained.
I’ve spent forty years touring all over with my music and I can honestly say with hand on heart, this is simply the most beautiful concert venue in the world. I’m so happy and excited to bring my band here again particularly after the difficult covid years and to now look to a brighter future for the cathedral and the people of Rochester.”
