JTQ
The James Taylor Quartet
|
‘An instrumental tour de force’
The Times |
‘A Hammond-led slice of organic retro-funk’
Mojo Magazine |
‘An institution’
The Independent |
Lead by Hammond organ-guru, James Taylor, JTQ stands with one foot planted firmly in the 21st Century – and other, just as firmly, somewhere south of the 1970s.
For a quarter of a century, JTQ have set the standard for the coolest sounds in funky acid jazz. On dozens of mighty albums and at their legendary gigs at home and around the world, they’ve quietly become a byword for distinguished British creativity.
JTQ are perhaps best-known and loved for their unrivalled live performances. With James’ Hammond leading the way, JTQ jam out with sly rhythms and kitschy-cool melodies, their live favourites include JTQ’s debut single Blow Up, Green Onions, Time is Tight, JTQ Theme and of course, the inimitable, Starsky and Hutch.

‘The band's impressive live reputation holds fast - like the Hammond organ,
it takes jazz and funk and gives it a righteous, spinning roar’
The Guardian
‘James Taylor keeps it swinging, fun and unpretentious’
