Taylor McDowell

Like many avant-garde enthusiasts, Taylor's first major musical revelation was from listening to recordings of jazz musicians defying the pretenses of jazz itself (i.e. John Coltrane Quartet/Quintet circa 1965). There's been no looking back since. Taylor lives in a small town in the northern Rocky Mountains with his family, where he makes maps for a living. When not indulging in as much music as possible, he enjoys bird watching, hunting and fishing, and otherwise sharing outdoors experiences with his wife and children."
