An elegant site dedicated to this talented drummer. "The Caroline Taylor Quintet landed virtually unannounced on the British jazz scene a few months ago, causing a buzz that has grown to deafening proportions with the release of their CD, For The Moment. Stylistically, the quintet plays in the hard-bop style of Art Blakey and Horace Silver, the very centre of the mainstream, a crowded competitive place to be." |

Steve Rubie's Brother. (Steve owns and runs the 606 Club) Peter is a writer and has pages that have nothing to do with jazz!! But, everything to do with promoting his book, and links to other writers and publishers. An extract from his page about him: " PETER RUBIE, an Author's Representative and partner in Perkins, Rabiner, Rubie and Associates, (Literary Agents based in New York), is the author of two novels Werewolf and Mindbender, several non-fiction books, plays and screenplays. He was the fiction editor at Walker and Co., for nearly 6 years, where a number of his authors won or were nominated for prestigious awards. Before working in the publishing industry he was a journalist in England with several Fleet Street newspapers as well as the BBC." Its quite new, but interesting. Drop by and bump up his counter!! |
