Taylor Made Jazz

Taylor Made Jazz is an album by American jazz pianist Billy Taylor.

It was recorded in Chicago on November 17, 1957 and released by the Argo label.

[1] The album includes members of Duke Ellington's orchestra performing arrangements by Johnny Pate.

[2] Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating: "though this isn't one of those small Ellingtonian unit sessions, it's just about the next best thing.

Having assembled several members of Duke's band and written eight definitely Duke-influenced tunes, pianist/composer Billy Taylor's Taylor Made Jazz would probably have been marketed as a 'tribute album' if it had been released recently".
