Self taught: Scott Taylor devised and perfected his fiendish fingering system before anyone could tell him it was impossible
With a name like Freternity, you'd expect to find more than one guitarist onstage, but when that player is Martin Taylor you do hear two or more guitars at once.
Using a fiendish fingering system devised and perfected before anyone could tell him it was impossible, this self-taught maestro simultaneously produces walking bass-lines, passing chords and surging melody lines with one erudite pair of hands.
A French ballad, If You Love Me, enjoyed such treatment last night, but the spotlight was mainly on the cast of Taylor's new Freternity album.
Trumpeter Guy Barker and Taylor, trading ideas effectively on its title track, a fast bossa-nova, go back a long way. They first met at a youth-band audition when hardly into their teens.
Drummer Steve Brown, bassist Dave Chamberlain and pianist David Newton produced crisp momentum on Makin' a Move, a boppish Newton original that inspired risk-taking solos all round.
Two vocals from newcomer Alison Burns followed Hoagy Carmichael's ravishing ballad, Skylark, and a funky revival of the Odd Couple film theme.
It's good to see Taylor back on tour after a family bereavement. Anyone who appreciates guitar artistry, no matter what style, should check him out.
