Paul Taylor grew up in Denver,
where he took up the saxophone at the age of seven. He played in school bands,
and in high school joined a Top 40 band called Mixed Company. Jazz keyboardist
Keiko Matsui and her husband, producer Kazu Matsui, discovered him playing at
~the Catalina Island Jazz Festival and hired him to play in their band. He
spent two years with them, and then Kazu Matsui produced his 1995 debut album,
On the Horn, which reached the jazz charts and spawned a radio hit in "Til
We Meet Again." Pleasure Seeker, his second album, followed in 1997 and
was equally successful. Taylor released his third album Undercover on
Peak/N-Coded Music in February 2000, Hpnotic in 2001 and most recently Steppin'
Out.
