Recording Academy Makes Statement on Billy Taylor
by Nicole Rosky
- Dec 30, 2010
Recording Academy President Neil Portnw issued the following statement on the recently deceased BIlly Taylor: 'A highly acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, and educator, Dr. Billy Taylor was a distinguished ambassador of the jazz community. A Recording Academy Trustees Award recipient in 2005, his career spanned more than six decades and he played with such luminaries as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker. As an educator, he crusaded for greater recognition of jazz, the genre he loved and called 'America's classical music.' As artistic advisor for jazz at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, he helped to raise the genre's profile and bring it into the mainstream culture. His wide-ranging promotion and support of jazz came to overshadow his primary career as an artist and performer, but his outstanding accomplishments and passion for the music he loved has created a timeless legacy that will continue to have a far-reaching impact on generations to come. The jazz world has lost one of its most ardent advocates, and our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, fans, and all who benefited from his artistry and his knowledge of and devotion to 'America's music.'
