We catch up on a
unique collaboration
– original themes by
award-winning guitarist
Martin Taylor,
orchestrations by
virtuoso jazz trumpeter
Guy Barker. Taylor
considers this nostalgic
through-composed
suite, heard for the first time in 2010, the highlight of
his musical career and looks forward to performing
it again. ‘Guy and I did our first gig together when we
were 14 years old and have remained great friends
ever since. It’s wonderful for us now to be able to
collaborate together on this incredible project.’
