Paul Taylor is an accomplished pianist and keyboard player specialising in improvisation. The music is evocative, alluring and unique; combining unusual harmonies and sonorities with an original and fluid technique.

Composer, Mark Piszczek (b. 1957) is a native of central Florida where his parents worked in the fledgling space program. A professional performer on both oboe and saxophone, Piszczek has a deep background in both jazz and classical music. He has led his own groups and worked as a studio musician for over twenty five years.
Piszczek's father was a devout fan of classical music and it played daily on the family phonograph. This early exposure to concert music and the presence of highly competent music teachers, instilled a love of music that later turned into a life long passion. The composer cites the music of Karel Husa, Bela Bartok, Miles Davis,Chick Corea and Ralph Towner as key influences in his early musical development. 
Piszczek studied oboe at the University of South Florida and the University of Wisconsin, Platteville. After years of performing professionally as a jazz artist, he decided to return to his classical roots and recieved a masters degree in composition at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, where he studied with composers, Elliott Schwartz and Dan Sonenberg. 
Piszczek now resides in Melbourne Fl. He has written hundreds of jazz compositions, a woodwind quintet, string quartet, four works for chamber orchestra, a brass quintet, a trio for clarinet, viola and piano, a symphony for winds and percussion, six new works for symphony orchestra, a quartet for flute, clarinet, bassoon and piano,  a trio for oboe, cello and piano and a flute sonata. He was also a featured artist for his mixed media installation, Chicanery Rows at the inaugural exhibition of the Sue Scott Gallery in New York City. 
When not composing, Piszczek enjoys traveling with his life partner, author, Vanessa Blakeslee and playing with his jazz group Strange Angels.

Jazz Pianist,  Arranger, Composer, originally from St. Louis, Mo., I've been in Los Angeles, Ca. since 1979.  I hope you enjoy all the music. It's a mix of Jazz standards, original compositions, Great American Song Book type standards and a few rock/ pop classics re-arranged for Jazz Trio. Some of it goes back 25 years or more now. The formats vary--solo, trio, quartet and vocals. 
Some of it is high quality Pro studio recording quality, others are my amateur home recordings of my Steinway D. On a few of the live recordings they were made with a Sony PCM-D50 digital recorder or iPhone.  Thanks for listening.
