Der mit Chicago Underground Duo, Sticks and Stones, Frequency Response, Digital Primitives und Jamie Branch ans Herz gewachsene Drummer CHAD TAYLOR hat mit James Brandon Lewis und Aruán Ortiz auch schon bei Intakt die Sticks geschwungen.

Pianist Angelica Sanchez and drummer Chad Taylor have been making uncommonly strong music for more than two decades, but they both tend to fly under the jazz world radar.

Peter Margasak, Oni Puladi Magazine, March 2024 (EN)


Angelica Sanchez and Chad Taylor's collaboration on the album A Monster is Just an Animal You Haven't Met Yet is a serendipitous blend of jazz's past and future wrapped in a package so enigmatic that it might as well come with its own set of riddles. The duo, comprising Sanchez's deft piano work and Taylor's percussive wizardry, crafts a sonic landscape as unpredictable as a weather forecast in the Bermuda Triangle.

Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz, April 02 2024 (EN)


A Monster Is Just An Animal You Haven't Met Yet, the new album from pianist Angelica Sanchez and percussionist Chad Taylor, opens with a series of undulating triplets, followed by a crawling right-hand figure and a delicate cymbal flourish. Moving up the keyboard, Sanchez folds the triplets into an extended line that casts oblique shadows in the pale light. Taylor brushes the cymbals with an impeccable sense of colour and space, before playing a short mallet roll that creates an opening for high energy playing later on.
