Melvin Taylor is a world renowned Jazz and Blues guitarist who has been at the top of the charts in Europe for years. His first two CD's, "I'll Play The Blues For You", and "Blues On The Run", were recorded in France in the early 1980's. Melvin returned to the US in 1990 where he recorded 4 additional CD's for Evidence Music - "Dirty Pool", remains Evidence label's best selling release ever.
Taylor was born in Mississippi but raised in Chicago. Entirely self taught this virtuoso began playing the famous, Maxwell Street when he was 10 years old. Melvin has developed a unique style and sound, mixing jazz chords with hints of blues and rock - ranging from hard, fast, explosive tones reminiscent of Hendrix, to the refined, smooth, elegant manner of Wes Montgomery.
"One of the most exhilarating blues guitarists to emerge in the past decade.. [he] is more a blues innovator than a purist, mixing jazz chords and rock influences into his tapestry of electric blues." - Rolling Stone Magazine
