The number thirteen is cloaked in mysticism—regarded by some cultures as unlucky and revered by others as a sacred good omen or the birth of a new beginning. Saxophonist Paul Taylor embraces that spirit with It’s A Brand New Day, his thirteenth recording as a leader and debut for Shanachie Entertainment. “This album in some ways signifies a new cycle for me, as this is my first new recording in three years,” Taylor explains. “The title speaks to my desire to give my fans an optimistic outlook as we approach every brand new day.”
The chart-topping saxophonist has enjoyed an enviable career with a string of Billboard #1 hits and collaborations with artists including Regina Belle, Maxi Priest, Peabo Bryson, Keiko Matsui, The Rippingtons, Peter White, Euge Groove, Michael Lington, Jamie Jones, and Marion Meadows. “I simply love creating and making my own music. I am the happiest when I am doing just this. It never gets old.”
It’s A Brand New Day showcases ten tracks—nine originals and a captivating take on Billie Eilish’s “Chihiro.” Growing up in Denver, Taylor discovered his love for the saxophone in a youth band and was inspired early on by Grover Washington Jr., Earth, Wind & Fire, Patrice Rushen, and Quincy Jones. “I am grateful for my fans, and I’m blessed to be playing music for as long as I have,” he reflects.
