A Few Useful Tips About Living Underground

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1996 release including four bonus tracks. The James Taylor Quartet's final album for the Acid Jazz label was a return to their roots with 11 tracks of straight-ahead Hammond instrumentals. It is the sound of the touring Quartet - which was a six-piece, plus a percussionist - doing what they did best: playing together. The music stretches from Lonnie Liston Smith-style Jazz Funk, through out-and-out Funk, tinged in places with touches of Keith Emerson. 15 tracks. Beat Goes Public. 2009.
