Preparation captures a pivotal moment in British jazz history, presenting the Mike Taylor Quartet’s final rehearsal in September 1965 before recording their acclaimed Pendulum album. Featuring Mike Taylor on piano, Dave Tomlin on soprano saxophone, Tony Reeves on double bass, and Jon Hiseman on drums, this session brims with spontaneous interplay and rich post-bop energy that defined the quartet's innovative sound.
This first-ever release showcases a newly discovered tape, expertly mastered in 2021, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the creative process of a legendary ensemble at the height of their powers. Accompanied by a booklet and poster, Preparation stands as an essential document for jazz enthusiasts eager to explore the roots and evolution of one of Britain’s most influential quartets.
