I swear I'm trying.<p>I'm terrible at this updating the website thing. But I swear I really am trying. Anyone have any tips on how to make this a more streamlined situation? Every year I say - I'm going to blog on the website weekly and every year . . . I don't. So much easier when I was doing newsletters, but why? Why did that work better? If anyone has a clue - please - by all means share the info. Meanwhile - Kayla Taylor Trio is playing ALMOST every Thursday at Ray's in the City. We're there all of the ones we're there and not at the ones we aren't. Just make sure you check the calendar so you know for sure. Also - we will be at the historic (and apparently haunted) Old Vinings Inn on Feb 24 and Mar 24. You MUST CALL TO MAKE A RESERVATION FOR THE ATTIC. I know - very 1982 but we love retro. The dining room is on OpenTable but NOT the ATTIC and that is where we are - so just pick up the phone and call: 770.438.2282. You may have to leave a message if they are busy. Thank you for the extra effort. Truly - your support has been invaluable to us and we thank you for every gig you have ever come to. A big shout out to our private clients, too!!! Y'all kept us afloat during the pandemic. Phew! Seriously. Thank you for your innovative thinking on how to keep us working. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392563/224b4ae5664bb9bbff8cadfaee79c0643165c93f/original/img-1926.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_thin" alt="" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392563/9f3bc39d2c030505bca140b793377d4a56ac3fd1/original/img-1923.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_center border_thin" alt="" /></p>Kayla Taylor Jazztag:kaylataylorjazz.com,2005:Post/68761352022-01-21T07:56:18-12:002022-01-21T07:56:18-12:00January 2022<p>Here we are. Another year. Grateful as ever to be playing and performing for you wherever you come to see us. Listen, you have no idea how much we love and appreciate you. Thank you thank you thank you. We hope to see you even more in 2022. Keep us in mind for any of your parties - big or small. Neighborhood concerts are some of our favorites - its a thing that happened during the shut down . . . folks hired us to come bring musical joy to their neighborhoods and cul-de-sacs. Magical, magical gigs. So keep that in mind. If you can't come to us . . . . we, my friend, will come to you!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392563/d771f240e72512202450c2dbb1b63c45d7458b3c/original/kayla-and-steve-culdesac2.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" /></p>Kayla Taylor Jazztag:kaylataylorjazz.com,2005:Post/65245342021-01-18T17:19:50-12:002022-01-14T01:12:41-12:00Well we made it to 2021.<p>We're here. We are here. 2021 has arrived and if you are reading this, you made it too. Lawd Have Mercy on my soul. Glad to see 2020 is G-O-N-E. Don't get me wrong there were some bright spots . . . when I had my eye exam . . . (laugh - its funny.)</p>
<p>We've been doing a few gigs here and there. Kayla & Steve are mainly working as a jazz duo right now. Restaurants, Bars, clubs - those that are open have huge budgeting restraints as a result of the pandemic. It limits their entertainment budget - understandably. So rather than whining about it - we do the gig with what their budget will allow. When we can - we pull our fabulous saxophone player (Randy Hunter) along with us. Now, that being said - we have had tremendous success with neighborhood parties and private parties where clients set up their lawns like Chastain and bring live music back to their neighborhoods that way. We have done many cul-de-sac concerts and its been a huge hit. Let us know if you want to schedule an outdoor concert! Sooooo much fun!</p>
<p>As far as where we are currently playing publicly . . . <a contents="OLD VININGS INN" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.oldviningsinn.net">OLD VININGS INN</a> in the heart of Vinings area and <a contents="ADELE'S ON CANTON" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.adelescajun.com">ADELE'S CAJUN RESTAURANT</a> in downtown Roswell.</p>
<p>Our very next dates coming up are at Old Vinings Inn on Feb 5 & Feb 26. Make a reservation by calling: 770-438-2282. Tell them you want to be part of the music in the Attic - cause that's where we are and they serve the FULL MENU up there. There is a $15/per person cover to help with the cost of entertainment (we hope you don't mind. Think of it as dinner + a show). Follow us on Facebook: Kayla Taylor Jazz </p>
<p>We look forward to seeing you soon. Please continue to protect yourselves and know that we are only playing at venues that are taking the precautions that need to be taken in order to host live entertainment</p>

What's going on in your neck of the woods. Just a reminder that we are at Ray's in the City every Friday Night AND also this Thursday we will be at Red Sky Tapas+Bar in East Cobb (Marietta, GA).

<p>Its Memorial Day Weekend. There are actually folks out there that don't know what that means. So . . . allow me . . . . </p>
<p>Memorial Day is a Federal Holiday in which we honor those who died serving in our armed forces. It began right after the Civil War and became known as "Decoration Day" because of the act of decorating the graves of soldiers. It became known-ish as Memorial Day around 1882 but that didn't become officially the name until after WWII. Originally it was a holiday that was celebrated on May 30th - regardless of what day of the week it fell on. A bill was passed in 1968 (the Uniform Monday Holiday Act) that moved four holidays, including Memorial Day to Mondays in order to create 3-day weekends. Lots of controversy about that when it happened for fear that folks would only think of Memorial Day as the first long weekend of Summer. Let's do our part and keep the spirit of what this holiday is all about alive. Make sure you spread the word. THANK YOU to those who choose to serve in the armed forces and for those who have lost loved ones while they served in the armed forces . . . thank you for YOUR service and sacrifices, too.</p>

<p>Hello Everyone.</p>
<p>I'm going to create an FAQ page but until that happens . . . here is where you can see both bands on a regular basis:</p>
<p>RETROGRADE - Every single Wednesday night at Ray's in the City 6p - 10p</p>
<p>Kayla Taylor Trio - Every single Friday night at Ray's in the City 7p - 11p</p>
<p>Now - if for some reason we were to get an enormously outrageously priced gig for a private client - trust me - we'll be there instead. Our Facebook pages stay current and you can always check last minute to make sure that's where we are headed. Sometimes if the jazz trio can't be together but Kayla can do the gig - then she will swap jazz for Retrograde. Same Kayla - different music. If you love the jazz trio or 5 piece combo - you will also love Retrograde. If you love Retrograde - you will also love the jazz combo or trio. We promise. If you don't - well, there are great therapist, hypotherapists and medications that can assist you with your insanity!</p>

<p>Why are we at Ray's in the City? Because we love the staff, we love the food, we love the service. We do NOT like to play at a venue that doesn't have great staff, food and service. WE value your time and money way more than that. If you have an unfavorable experience at any venue we play at.

<p>HOORAY FOR 2017. Its going to be an awesome year for all of us. I know this because I just know this. We want to wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that you are enjoying it so far. We have a lot of stuff going on with all the acts* and hope you will make it out to a show ASAP! We love you guys. If you'd like to host a home show/concert . . . . then let's get that on the books and make it happen. These are so much fun and are different than a party. A show/concert is more of a listening adventure and we would love to be part of this with you. Just get in touch with Kayla: 678.517.2482 or kaylataylorjazz@gmail.com for either group (Jazz or Retrograde-Acoustic Duo). </p>
<p>Also . . . let us know if there's a song you'd like us to add to the repertoire. We are constantly adding new tunes and would love to add something especially for YOU!</p>
<p>This year we will be recording a new Jazz CD and Retrograde will be recording a Pop CD. THIS IS HAPPENING so stay tuned for any developments on this. THIS IS THE YEAR, PEOPLE. This is the year that we are getting stuff done! Crossing off things on the to-do lists and making it happen. THIS IS THE YEAR!</p>
<p>Peace and Love. Please visit our GIGS page to find out when and where our shows are! Also - visit our FB pages and make sure you share our posts. It really does help get us out there in the feeds.</p>
<p>*Acts = Kayla Taylor Jazz (trio - 10 piece): Jazz, standards and blues from the 30s, 40s & 50s</p>
<p>Retrograde (acoustic duo - 6 piece): Folk rock/pop hits from the 60s, 70s and a tiny few gems from the 80s</p>
<p>Two Steves & a Kayla (trio): Playing jazz & pop (the jazz group and the pop group both have guitar players named STEVE so that's why its called two Steves and a Kayla.)</p>

<p>Our dear friend, Herman Jones, Jr, passed away on Friday, May 27, 2016. Herman played saxophone back in the day in our band when we were at Ray's on the River as the house band on Thurs, Fri, Sat nites. He was an awesome bandmate and saxophonist. ALWAYS smiling. ALWAYS ready for the gig. During our tenure at Ray's, Herman was offered a job as the Band Director at Benedict College in Columbia, SC, and so we said farewell as he moved on to another part of his journey. We all got to see each other a few years ago at fellow bandmate, Patrick Cowan's, wedding. Herman attended with his beautiful wife, Demetria. It was just the greatest surprise for all of us to be together again after so many years apart. None of us knew it would be the last time we'd see Herman. We loved Herman. We love him still. We know many of you would want to know that Herman has passed. Please keep his wife and two children and the rest of his family and friends in your prayers. This was completely unexpected - no warning. He collapsed while teaching class and was in the hospital in an induced coma and when they started bringing him out of the coma . . . things just didn't work out for those of us over here on the other side. RIP Herman Jones, Jr. We will always love you. We will always call you our HERMAN-ator! We miss you.</p>

<p>But . . . . I like it warm. HOT is, well . . . hot! So . . . with summer upon us and the HOT WEATHER beaming down already here in the ATL, what's a girl to do? Well, what I do is play music in as many climate controlled environments as possible! The boys dig the climate control, too. Who doesn't, really? I have curly hair. You may or may not have noticed. Heat = sweat = more curls. Sometimes I like to pretend that I have straight hair just like up there on top of the website ^. That's called Denial! What does all of this have to do with music? I'll tell ya - come on out to one of our fabulously climate controlled gigs and enjoy some beautiful jazz with Kayla Taylor Jazz or some groovy retro tunes with Retrograde Acoustic Duo. All the dates are listed on the page called GIGS.</p>
<p>We will be back at TAVOLA after the Summer. It was hard to get our schedules together with vacations happening on our end and on the restaurant's end . . . so we will be back there in August. Yippee!!!! </p>
<p>Y'all enjoy the beautiful summer and send us some pictures from your vacations, or your gardens, or y'all just having fun. </p>
<p>Peace, Love, Jazz & Folk Rock!</p>

Here it is again. Thanksgiving. Then Hanukah. Then Christmas. Then the New Year. 2016. Its happened. Another year has flown by and we want you to know that we are forever filled with gratitude for all that you do and all that you have done. Your support and belief in us is what makes us strive to move forward. Our vow for 2016? Well, we want to put out a new album (a/k/a CD, download, etc.) so fingers crossed for that AND we want to add some new venues to our roster. We are excited that we already have several weddings and private events booked for 2016 already. You guys keep us in mind if there are any private functions or clubs you think we'd be perfect for. </p>
<p>Those of you who were hoping for a duo Christmas show - we'll add that to the list of things that need to happen for 2016. BUT if you'd like to see Kayla performing with David Ellington's band - they will be performing music from A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS every Sunday in December at Venkman's Restaurant and Concert Venue on Ralph McGill Blvd in Downtown Atlanta (a/k/a The Old Fourth Ward). Reservations are accepted. www.venkmans.com </p>
<p>A full list of all gigs for Kayla Taylor Jazz, Retrograde and Kayla's side projects are on the GIGS page. Thank you again for being you and for loving us. Have a marvelous Thanksgiving. I'll drop back in before the holidays but its going to be busy for KAYLA TAYLOR JAZZ, RETROGRADE ACOUSTIC DUO and for KAYLA TAYLOR. </p>

<p>I gotta tell ya . . . its been a hot one down here in ATL or up here - or over here depending on where in the world you are. Hope everyone is finding a way to stay comfortable. Me, I'm running around trying to keep everything growing cause its been so dry. We've got exciting shows coming up but wanted to give you a heads up that we're still at Ray's in the City - every Friday night except when we aren't so make sure you check the schedule to see if we are indeed there or email us at kaylataylorjazz@gmail.com to double check.</p>
<p>Now - a great show coming up NEXT WEEKEND. Its on the patio that is shared by The New Orleans SnoBall Cafe and Dos Madras in Decatur, GA on West Ponce DeLeon. We're playing there as a quartet from 5pm - 8pm. Come on out and have some food, cocktails and snoballs. That's SUNDAY AUGUST 9. We sure would love to see y'all. Bring your kids and make an evening of it. Its early. </p>
<p>That's about it for right now. Let us know if you need us - we're always booking shows for private situations and we'd love to book one for you.</p>
<p>PEACE. LOVE. JAZZ!!!!</p>

<p>Well, Summer has arrived here in Atlanta - not officially - but sweltering heat and humidity = Summer Time to me. It also means great music abounds on the patios, decks, restaurants, hotels, event centers, private homes, etc. Sure - I'm in a band that plays live music - but even if I weren't - I'd be out supporting live music - especially during the Summer Months. Make sure you are out there supporting live music, too. Without you - there would be no US. We know this and we never forget it. Thanks for being here for us and all the other musicians each of you support. MWAH! We love you very much!!!</p>

<p>About time, right? It's still a bit chilly but I can finally "feel the scent of roses in the air"! Its been a long, hard, cold winter and I'm just not used to that so I'm ready to have some relief. We just wanted to say that we love and appreciate each of you more than you will ever know. Its because of each of you that we get to do what we love to do. We hope to have a new CD available by late Summer and are looking forward to some great shows this year. So - get ready and we'll keep you posted. Tell all your friends, your neighbors, co-workers, relatives and strangers on the street that we need 'em and we'll always love and appreciate 'em. Come by often and check out the news. Peace!</p>

<p> </p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">HAutumn! After a scorching Summer, here in Atlanta, GA - USA, its nice to have the Autumn leaves drifting by my window on the crisp cool breezes of Fall. We've had great shows at some new places and our CD "You'd Be Surprised" is getting all kinds of great reviews from around the world as well as being played on radio stations across the nation and in the Netherlands. Check out our PRESS page for the latest reviews. Its a super exciting time for us.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">This past weekend we played for members at The Capital City Club and for the VIP party at JAZZOO. We had a great time and met lots of new folks. Keep in mind that we can play any event you want to hire us for and we'll bring our Vintage Styled Jazz along with us to keep the party swanky and full of charm.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">This week . . . the jazz trio will be at Paper Mill Grill on Thursday (10/20) from 6:30p - 10:30p. Our jazz trio is different - we combine vocal and guitar with saxophone. It's a fresh take on the traditional jazz trio and you'll be surprised at how full the sound is. Friday (10/21) the 5 piece will be at The Artmore Hotel in Midtown-Atlanta for "Jazz in the Courtyard". If you haven't made it out to this show . . . come while you can. The series only has two more dates and then the weather just gets too cold for outdoor, night time shows. You can reserve one of the groovy outdoor couches or an intimate cocktail table by emailing sales@artmorehotel.com. We've got a wedding at The Buckhead Club on Saturday (10/22) - but that's a private event - just mentioning it in case you know someone that is getting married who might need us for their rehearsal dinner or wedding reception. Sunday afternoon (10/23) we return to one of our favorite places - The New Orleans SnoBall Cafe in Decatur from 4p - 7p. These folks opened up shop in the middle of the recession and they have found away to not only survive but to thrive. Come on out and see what the fuss is all about and enjoy our jazz trio on the patio while you try out the delicious SnoBall's and the new popcorn they are serving in all of the snoball flavors that they offer.</div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The following week . . . we'll be back at FEAST on Saturday night (10/29) for our Autumn Cabaret. The whole five piece will be in tow and this show fills up quickly - so making a reservation is a great idea. They've got a new Chef and new menu items you'll love to try. Teri and Robin have been some of our most loyal supporters so come show 'em the love and join us for a great night from 7:30p - 10:30p. Call to reserve a table at: 404.377.2000.</div>

<p>Thanks to all of you who came out to support us last Saturday at THE BIG BIG SHOW! We were blown away by your presence and by all of the CD's you purchased. A portion of all the proceeds was donated back to the South Cobb Arts Alliance and their plans are to use the money to help the Theater Project purchase headset microphones for the actors. </p>
<p>Make sure you <a href="/press" data-imported="1" data-link-type="page">check the press page for the latest review of our CD, "You'd Be Surprised".</a> Next week we'll see you at Paper Mill Grill on Thursday (9/22); Fernbank on (9/23) and at a private function for CHRIS Kids at The Georgia Aquarium on (9/24). The following week you'll find us at The Artmore Hotel on (9/30) for the return of the Jazz Under the Stars Series. </p>
