Description
Taylor Made is the extensive biography of living jazz legend, Dr. Billy Taylor. Equally university professor, band leader, playing manager, jazz ambassador to the world, and professional pianist, Dr. Billy Taylor is a "walking history of jazz." Taylor's compositions, which combined together jazz and classical into a new, bright, and complex form, made a lasting impression among today's jazz composers. William F. Lee III is a university administrator, educator, composer, pianist, conductor, researcher, and teacher, with a career spanning more than thirty-five years. As a professional composer-arranger, Lee has won more than twenty ASCAP awards for the quality and frequency of performances of his serious compositions. His more than 100 publications include biographies of Stan Kenton and Maynard Ferguson. Dr. Lee resides in San Antonio, Texas.
