Billy Taylor, Jazz pianist and friend to millions, dead at 89 - Chicago Jazz music | Examiner.com

Billy Taylor
Today, Jazz Pianist, Composer, Educator and Jazz Ambassador leaves a legacy of musical greatness with the world.

Today, I am sharing some articles and blogs that speak to his history and contributions to the world stage.

Taylor has always been a great source of musical inspiration for me as a pianist and I have followed Billy Taylor's works with the Jazzmobile and his compositions and concerts since my own college years as a pianist, composer and music educator.
May he join those great pianists that he loved such as Fats Waller and Art Tatum in a heavenly Jam Session to be heard from above!!
