“A Perfect Match”
The Taylor/Fidyk Big Band
Where has this band been hiding?
Swinging big band co-led by former Kenton arranger Mark Taylor and drummer
Steve Fidyk. “Their new CD is powerful, fresh, honest and a lot of fun to
listen to. The playing is superlative and the writing is great.” Mark
Taylor’s compositions, and arrangements are outstanding, and Steve Fidyk
(Army Blue Band) kick the heck out of this band, made up of Washington DC’s
finest! This is a five star CD!
