Martin Taylor
MBE (born 20 October 1956) is a British jazz guitarist who has performed in groups, guitar ensembles, and as an accompanist.

At the age of four, he received his first guitar from his father, jazz bassist William 'Buck' Taylor who only took up music at 30.

At age eight, he was already playing in his father's band and at 15 he quit school to become a professional musician. Altro...
