Kaba Modern/GTAV Commercial

Here's the latest version of the commercial spot I scored for Yeo's. Featuring Kaba Modern...

with Tracy Chapman

This video got some serious play. I'm finger-synching to Adam Levy's guitar work. But it's my hat.

with Namie Amuro

What a wonderful tour this was! Great musicians, great crew, and Namie was just a delight. This is from her video Live At The Tokyo Dome.

with Threshold

Here's a clip from Threshold's record release at Fais Do Do. Jump to the middle if you're just looking for the solo.

Good Day

Influences
  • Everything, everywhere

  • You

Sounds LikeA little bit of everyone, I suppose. I'm comfortable in all settings, but I gravitate toward R&B. BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, of course....John Scofield, Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, all the guys who bend the genre a bit...I love the rhythm masters like Freddie Stone, Eric Gale....of course Hendrix and Hendrix and Hendrix.....under-appreciated masters Lindsey Buckingham, Billy Gibbons....Paul Simon and James Taylor with an acoustic guitar....Daniel Lanois.....Jennifer Batten for taking it further than ever....so many wonderful players.......

   About Linda Taylor
Guitarist Linda Taylor may be best known for her work on ABC TV’s "Whose Line Is It Anyway?” hosted by Drew Carey. As one-half of the “band”, Linda and keyboardist Laura Hall instantly provide improvised music in support of the stellar cast, which includes Greg Proops, Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie. “Whose Line” is currently in syndication and can be seen nightly on ABC’s Family Channel.

A native of Southern California, Linda started playing the guitar at age 4, and though she had several teachers early on and participated in school programs, is primarily self-taught. After years of performing locally, mostly on the R&B circuit, Linda began touring heavily with jazz saxophonist Kirk Whalum. Highlights include a performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival with special guests Monty Alexander and Wallace Roney. World tour credits include Tracy Chapman's "Smoke and Ashes" tour, a gig that spanned several years in the mid '90s. Later, getting back to her R&B roots, Linda joined domestic tours with a variety of singers, including Thelma Houston, Vesta Williams, Chante Moore, and Jesse Powell, performing at the Image Awards with Jesse and Chante in 1999. In 1997 and 1999, Linda also toured with Japanese superstar Namie Amuro; in a band that included Carlos Rios and Sheila E.

In 2001 Linda released “PULSE”, an acid-jazz groove-fest featuring her guitar work and compositions. PULSE is available at CDBaby.com, iTunes, and all major online retailers.

Driven by the events and policies post-September 11, Linda formed her R&B band, Threshold, and released the galvanizing Sum Blues, a politically and socially charged work. Sum Blues is Linda’s debut as a lyricist, and features guest performances by Keb’ Mo’, and the lead vocals of Angela Carole Brown. Threshold has been a featured artist at Amoeba Music, Indie-Music.com, Eartaste, and Real Blues Magazine.

Branching into film composing, Linda scored several movies, including director Judy Minor’s debut “Anatomy of a Breakup”, starring Kate Walsh and Chris Bauer.

from Whose Line Is It Anyway?

This is, of course, the brilliant Wayne Brady doing his thing. Nope, you can't see me or Laura Hall in this one, but does it really matter?

Colin breakdances in this one...it's worth the price of admission.

Dear Linda,

Thank you so much for introducing me to your circle of friends, and for your sweet email message.

It was a real joy to see you last week performing with Maia.

You are such a beautiful person, in every sense, and your playing is infused with that same beauty, joy and energy. I was truly taken to another level by the whole band, it was both hypnotic and uplifting.

I can't thank you enough for adding me to share such joyous treasures, except to say bravo!!!

Feel free to use any of the photos from the KPRI Private Listener Concert with my compliments.

Have a great summer of touring. It will be a treat to catch one of your gigs again.

Wishing you happiness and tranquility in all things.

With much love,

Joel
