Wailin' at the Vanguard is a live album by Arthur Taylor's Wailers, led by drummer Taylor, and featuring saxophonists Abraham Burton and Willie Williams, pianist Jacky Terrasson, and double bassist Tyler Mitchell.

[1][2] In a review for AllMusic, Robert Taylor wrote: "Walter Bolden's compositions make for the most interesting moments here...

"[1] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated: "With the demise of Art Blakey, Taylor's Wailers look set to be one of the principal training grounds for younger players... his own playing has never sounded more upfront and committed... the feel of the disc... as well as bruising interpretations of the likes of 'Dear Old Stockholm', adds a quintessential flavour.

"[4] Chris Hovan of MusicHound Jazz called the album a "charged set" featuring "some vital playing," but noted: "Unfortunately, this would be the swan song for Taylor's Wailers.

"[3] Modern Drummer's Rick Mattingly commented: "The album is no-nonsense bebop, with Taylor's depth of experience balanced by the youthful aggressiveness of his bandmembers.
