Jazz meets r&b meets gospel on this performance by the Justin Taylor Trio and singer Jhane ‘B.

Pianist Justin Taylor graduated from Towson University with a degree in Jazz Studies and Commercial Music.

The Baltimore-based pianist has since had diverse musical experiences in several different idioms including working with Tim Warfield and Warren Wolf.

Jhane ‘B is an r&b and gospel singer who sang as a youth at her Grandfather’s church and a vocalist who sometimes sounds a little like Dianne Reeves.

Taylor, who contributes some jazz solos and plays stride piano on the final piece ( a swinging duet with the singer), collaborates with Jhane and his quartet on a set of r&b (including Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You”), gospel, and jazz for their Oct. 17, 2020 LiveStream.
