(74) “Countdown” and Art Taylor

Standards Rating 6 Difficulty Rating 8

Arthur S. Taylor Jr. (1929–1995) was a leading American jazz drummer known for shaping modern jazz drumming with a dynamic, supportive style influenced by drummers Max Roach, Art Blakey, and Kenny Clarke. Raised in Harlem, he played with legends like Miles Davis, Bud Powell, and John Coltrane. Taylor’s drumming is featured on Coltrane’s 1960 track "Countdown," a landmark in jazz harmony using Coltrane Changes—rapid, symmetrical key modulations that challenge improvisers. His clarity and precision support Coltrane’s complex use of upper chord extensions. Taylor also appears on "Giant Steps," opening the tune with a solo before the full rhythm section joins, contributing to its intensity and innovation. As a bandleader, Taylor formed Taylor’s Wailers, showcasing top hard bop talents like Donald Byrd and Jackie McLean. After living in Europe (1963–1980), he returned to the U.S., re-formed his group, and recorded Wailin’ at the Vanguard in 1991.
