Summer Update!
Hey everyone -
I am really excited to be out travelling again! I've been having some really fun concert opportunities with a mixture of different great musicians - hope to see you at a future concert......
The next two weeks I'm going to be gone on a European tour with Julian Lage as a duo. We are playing at the Pizza Express in London for two nights, then we are opening for the Maria Schneider Orchestra at Europa Freilicht Buhne in Germany, going to the Bix Club in Stuttgart right after, and closing the tour with a week in Vitoria, Spain. I'm really excited to get out there and see some places I haven't seen before!
The new album, "Let it Come to You" has been doing really nicely, and some new reviews are posted in the "About" section, including Downbeat Magazine and others. Thanks to all for your continued support for the album, and thanks especially to the radio community as well - it's been in the top ten on the Jazzweek National Airplay charts for about 9 weeks and even went as high as #2! I'm really excited to have the new music out there....
I wanted to take a second to talk about two records I think you'll enjoy - one comes out on August 19 called "Invisible Cinema" by Aaron Parks. Aaron is one of the most amazing, unique composers and improvisors in the jazz world. This is his first release on Blue Note Records and the sample music on his Myspace Page sounds incredible. Another project that you will enjoy is Gerald Clayton's new CD, which will also be released sometime fairly soon. Gerald is a master composer and pianist - he plays with so much passion and drive and has utter control over his instrument, combining the energy of hard-swinging music with the sophistication of modern harmony and rhythms - Check his website - www.GeraldClaytonMusic.com
Thats it for now - hope to see you this summer!
peace, Taylor

Welcome to the Brand New Website!!
Hey everyone!
I am so thrilled to announce the arrival of the new TaylorEigsti.com (or tayjazz.com for those of you who used to go to the old website). This website was created through the imaginitive eye of Judy Frisk, a master web designer who has been awesome to work with. Judy took a lot of my artwork and came up with really neat animations, and made a layout for the site that is easy to navigate, and loaded with cool features.
I hope you enjoy all of the new features, which are pretty extensive. There is a news page, where I will post any new cool events that are on the horizon, an updated calendar page, a bio page with many items available for press, full discography, a page with videos called "Media", a collection of different photos, a page highlighting new projects that I am starting, as well as a page featuring some of my artwork. I really hope you enjoy this, and feel free to leave a message on the "Contact" page.
Hope to see you at a future concert! There are quite a few of them coming up, so please just check the Calendar page for the most recent update to my schedule.......
Maybe I will still be inspired to post some of my NFL predictions here as well....unless the 49ers make me too depressed to think about football again......
PEACE!!!!
