In Green eloquently and dynamically represents jazz in the now, and future, beautifully and thoughtfully expressed by musicians of the highest order. They’re mates, too.

Taylor Griffin, as his press department writes, ‘is a new and emerging artist, drummer and producer from Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’.

In Green reached No. 9 in the NZ Album Charts, and got to No. 5 in the Top 10 Albums in Independent Music NZ. It’s co-produced and mixed by master musician Nathan Haines.
‘In Green EP represents a large body of work that began its life during Taylor’s time at Auckland University, where he studied jazz under internationally renowned musicians including Ron Samsom, Chris O’Connor, Roger Manins, Oli Holland, and Kevin Field.’

The EP was written and produced after the third lockdown. ‘And represents a shift in the way forward, in light of modern and global changes. In Green EP explores modern jazz through the lexicon of heavy grooves and Latin flavours with tasteful and lush sounds masterfully mixed in.’

Taylor recently returned from London where he’s begun recording new music for a later release (full-length album), ‘with the legendary Kiwi expat Dave Holmes at Lightship 95. In doing so he’s collaborated with London based artists such as Arjuna Oakes, Rudi Creswick (bass player for Tom Misch), Pluum, Dylan Jones and Ben Vize.’

In Green EP credits:
Written and produced by Taylor Griffin. Co-produced and mixed by Nathan Haines at Zoot Music. Taylor Griffin, drums, percussion, vocals. Nathan Haines, flute, soprano saxophone. Rachel Clarke, vocals. Saia Folau, vocals. Leo McMenamin, keyboards. Michal Martyniuk, Rhodes, synths. Guy Harrison, trumpet, synths. Charlie Isdale, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, flute. Geoff Ong, guitar, bass. Robert Picot, guitar. Joseph Corban-Banks, session engineer at The Groove Suite studio. Neil Baldock, drum mixing engineer at Zoot Music. Distributed through Bigpop Records. Mastered by Clinton McCreery at Bambu Music, London.
