Ladies' Choice
In fact, four ladies have chosen to sing on have chosen to sing on Ladies' Choice, smooth jazz saxist Paul Taylor's latest. In order of appearance, they are LaToya London, Regina Belle, Terry Dexter, and Belle again. It makes sense that Belle gets two features: Her pop-soulful vocals bring a kind of Anita Baker intensity to the proceedings. On "How Did You Know" and "Open Your Eyes," both of which she co-wrote with the album's hitmaking producer, keyboardist Barry Eastmond (who has worked with Baker), she manages the feat of adding background vocals that contrast nicely with the lead ones. There's nothing particularly distinctive about Taylor's silky sound on alto and soprano, but the doubled-horn effects provide pop and he comes up with some distinctive effects on Vocoder. Guitarist Phil Hamilton's romantic wah-wah effects also deserve mention. --Lloyd Sachs more

Great CD, though not Paul Tayloresque. I bought the CD because of the title song, which is jammin!! However, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of vocals, which seems to overshadow Paul's extradordinary talent.

This is my first exposure to Paul Taylor and my first impressions were not good. At first I found this production too "run of the mill" but after subsequent listening I found myself enjoying this CD more and more. The musical...
