Standards - All The Things You Are - Martin Taylor [SS002] 

This dudes so good they named two guitar brands after him

Hi Martin i used too live just around the corner from Ike Issacs and met him once as a 16 year old self teaching guitarist My mum remembered my late trumpet playing dad had been in either Oscar Rabin and Joe Loss big bands and had gigged together So i got an introduction to him Needless to say he was very encouraging and although leszon were never discused hr gave me a fee tips This was about 1967 ish and i still have a song book of his which i must dig out Although i got lost in Chicargo blues i had lost of sheet music including a Jobim song book the cords blew my mind and we kept my dads vynal LPs for years until .our mum died in 2020 loads of Mel Torme sinatra Ella Fitgerald early Miles Tony Bennet Gerry Mulligan with Chet Baker etc all the modern classics as you describe them I missed you in Thurso in 2008 ? Millbank Theatre ? But i look out for your appearances im near Inverness and still playing RnB with Great american songbook Great work Martin you are an inspiration to all guitarists every where thank you bro

Thank you very much, dear Martin! Great guitar's sound - it's like balm for soul☺️👍

Thank you for your amazing music....

Thank you, thank you, thank you Martin for these videos which remind us of the power of music to take us out of ourselves, particularly at a time when many people are unsure about tomorrow. The only thing more beautiful than your guitars is your exquisite playing which takes me to a different place if only for a few minutes. ....from Australia

Thank you Master. Beautiful.

Amazing, one of the most beautiful chord melodies I've heard in my life, thank you for you art, it's inspiring for a young beginner jazz guitarists like me.

Pure Genius

My hat's off to you Martin, that was brilliant!!! All the best to you, with much respect, cheers, Steven Wilson Ontario Canada

Une des versions les plus aboutis que j'ai entendu. Bravo Martin, pour ce bel arrangement très inspirant!

One of the best !!!

Keep em coming !! Loving em !!

Extraordinary!!

Mind blown! Thank you sir, for playing for us.

Quel merveilleux standard ! Merci Martin, with love.

Thanks Martin ...youve been my inspiration ever since meeting you in Nashville during the early ninties with Jim D'Aquisto. They had just launched their strings and you endorsed them for a while. Stay well ....and thanks for sharing your talent for all these years.

Extraordinary...thank you Master 🙏

I've only just started learning this song and hope to play it in solo guitar form one day :) Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing your playing :) you are a true master of sensitive quality guitar playing. I follow you for about 28 years since a little exciting gig you had in Pargod Theater , Jerusalem. Peace and Love and good health. cheers !

Outstanding Maestro!

Quelle belle histoire vous nous racontez dans cet impro ! Bravo.

Been amazed at this guy's playing for years. Legendary level playing here. I count only five fingers on each hand, but I hear more like 8 or 9.

The quality of the sound is so inviting and open.

Standing Ovation from Italy for you! Many thanks really appreciated

Beautiful clean notes..p.s I had the pleasure of jamming with Ike in the early 70's in Sydney. Totally out of my league but he was such a gentle soul, just kept going and letting me make my mistakes. Take care and keep providing us with your beautiful work.

Been waiting for the MASTER TO PLAY THIS MASTER PIECE, AND THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE.. THANKS SO MUCH MASTER 👌👍

one of the greatest on the planet is honored to follow your work ... all the best ...tomislav

No doubt, one of the best in the world!

Darn it , I knew this was going to be sick with a name lie Martin Taylor. How could you not be this good ? This song is so hard to make sound like that. Unbelievable. Great job. Wow wow wow .

Wonderful and playing in a guitar museum

Martin Taylor the 👑

I still have an old worn out cassette that I used to tape this guy playing on the radio back in the day when I was first getting curious about Jazz. Blew my mind back then, not much has changed!

Wow 👏👏👏il maestro colpisce ancora bellissima versione

absolutly beautiful and they did name two guitar brands after as they well should i wish i could play all the things that great thank you

Wonderful!!

Stunning playing!

Hi Martin, Just beautiful playing with so many ideas to keep this song constantly varied and interesting. I remember you sitting in with Herb Ellis at the Bull';s Head, Barnes, in S.W. London way back in the 1980s and playing this song then.

On another RU-vid video, you show the basic principles of finger style playing in, I think it was, about 6 basic steps. This sounded like about step 47. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful

just the most beautiful thing.

Martin Taylor is superb.

Thank you Martin

Nice job Martin love your rendition

Thank you Martin ! Om Shanti

Sublime

Great! Thank You

You are a true master

Awesome!

This is just so great. Thanks for inspiring me and making me practice like a mofo.

As a guitarist myself l can less than admire the artistry herein achieved. A wink to all the great players that came before but still his own original approach. He changed the original key in order to make it guitar friendlier. Notice also the great reharmonization. Bravo!!!

You are awesome, Martin.

Great Martin!!

Beautiful playing ‘ arrangement 🙏

Played this (and subsequently another, much older vocal rendition) for my girlfriend, a pianist, and was astonished to learn she didn’t know All the Things You Are - didn’t recognize the tune at all. Happy to have your bit of conversation about what the song means to you and so many others to play for her then as well.

Beautiful!

Love you Martin. You are gifted.

¡Qué bonito Martin! Hermosa armonía. Felicidades!!!

Superbe et magnifique du grand art.

As always, on top of is game!!...

Maestro!!!

Saw him play in the Bronx with Stephan Grapellie in the 80s. Still great now!!

just great......

Thanks Martin

Magistrale...!

Awestruck!

Thank you for uploading these videos, you are my hero!

Maybe it's the crushing news overnight, but I swear I hear Bucky Pizzarelli in there. Then again, I hope Bucky's soul will live on in playing to come through the ages. Just sublime, Martin.

extraordinary

Well done!

I saw this man on the Midday Show CH9 in Aus I think when Mike Walsh was compere. I thought he was amazing then and I still do now.

A simple thank you .....

Thank You!

yes I love verse intro too

Just gorgeous Man.

Single note solo, chords solo, bass solo: are you preparing drum-guitar solo too? I love you, from Italy

Sensacional!

Superb, Martin. No dusty parts on your fretboard-:)

Nice playing
