Scott Dean Taylor
A transplant from Wichita, Kansas, Scott Dean Taylor has been making waves as a welcome addition to Chicago’s fertile, creative music scene.
His versatile and sensitive drumming skills can be heard live and on recordings with an array of top improvisers and musicians including Erez Dessel, Jim Baker, Seth Andrew Davis, Peter Maunu, Ben Macdonald, Tyler Wagner, Evann McIntosh and Psychic Temple. In a longstanding partnership with songwriter, singer and guitarist Maria Elena Silva, he has recorded two albums at BIG EGO Studios in Long Beach, working with Marc Ribot, Jeff Parker, Danny Frankel, Stephen Hodges and Chris Schlarb. A frequent collaborator with guitarist and composer David Lord, Taylor is featured on the recent Cloud Ear release, Days in Woods, alongside bassist Dale Black.
