Wait A Minute

James Taylor Quartet

1988
Urban (2)

This is a superb acid jazz album from 1988 from The James Taylor Quartet, led by former organist of mod band The Prisoners. Combining funk and R’n’B beats with heavy-duty Hammond and jazz guitar licks, it’s a clean, highly effective updating of the classic 60s organ-jazz of artists like Jimmy McGriff and Jimmy Smith. ‘Wait A Minute’ also contains the JTQ’s live favourite, their superior cover of the ‘Starsky and Hutch’ theme featuring horn players Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis from James Brown’s band.
