"Taylor plays French horn boldly and lyrically..."
—Bob Blumenthal, Atlantic Monthly


"Mark Taylor’s quartet certainly is unlike any other performing in today’s jazz scene."
—Don Williamson, JazzReview.com

"A virtuoso...there is no one dealing with that instrument or the music the way Mark is doing."
—Max Roach

"Derring-do naturally characterises Taylor's musicianship. The former Henry Threadgill sideman is more than equipped for the challenge with a robust tone and strong compositions."
—John Stevenson, eJazzNews.com

"An incisive soloist and a flexible front-line foil for Threadgill, Mark Taylor's French horn is alternately as fluid and limpid as Threadgill's flute, and as gnarly as his alto"
—JazzTimes

"One might think that the French horn is a strange instrument for jazz, but in the hands of Mark Taylor these thoughts were proved wrong. Taylor and his group had a wonderful common language, a fact that was emphasized in his brilliant solo..."
— Marita Nyrhinen

"Taylor's sound is big, rounded and versatile."
—Cadence

"...Of this year's Corner Store Syndicate Festival...the best sets were by french hornists: Mark Taylor mostly for his rapturous golden tone..."
— Coda

"Mark Taylor is one of the finest musicians it has ever been my pleasure to know. His masterful approach to playing the french horn, as well as his unique manner of composing, deserves a hearing from the world of serious music lovers."
—Muhal Richard Abrams
