 CTI Jazz: Buy Jazz Photos, Jazz Music, Jazz CDs and DVDs - produced by Creed Taylor.
Taylor knew that people would judge an album by its cover, and Impulse covers were designed as works of art to be worthy of the music that they contained.
At A&M from 1967-69, Taylor's productions were often quite commercial, with the frequent use of strings and pop tunes, including Wes Montgomery's final three albums and some early efforts by George Benson; it was as if Taylor was searching for the formula he was later to perfect.
Still, Creed Taylor had the last laugh on the Jazz police by headlining a roster of mainstream jazz artists like Milt Jackson, Chet Baker and Paul Desmond alongside newer artists like Joe Farrell and Airto Moreira, as well as established players at the time, like George Benson, Freddie Hubbard and Hubert Laws.

Creed Taylor was a well-known and respected name in the jazz world long before he founded his famous CTI (Creed Taylor International) record label in the 1970s.
Unfortunately, Taylor became interested in distributing his own recordings to retailers, a notoriously difficult and expensive business, and rather than increasing sales as he had hoped, the strain threatened to bankrupt the company even as it was enjoying its greatest success-Deodato had hit it big with his fusion version of "Thus Spake Zarathustra".
Taylor's roster of talent had attracted the attention of larger labels who began to lure his stars away with lucrative contracts.

 CTI RECORDS: A DISCOGRAPHY (PAGE TWO)
Verve's big budgets and Creed Taylor's proven ability to turn jazz into hits (starting in 1962 with Jimmy Smith's "Walk On The Wild Side" and Stan Getz's "The Girl From Ipanema") afforded limitless opportunities to employ the cream of the crop in studio musicians for these records.
Taylor was also able to record his jazz stars in a wide variety of beautifully devised orchestral settings arranged by such first-call arrangers as Oliver Nelson, Lalo Schifrin, Gary McFarland, Don Sebesky and Claus Ogerman.
Taylor successfully revived the label during the first half of the 1990s, recording Dizzy Gillespie, Larry Coryell, Jim Hall and, perhaps most significantly, bassist Charles Fambrough and, most memorably, Ted Rosenthal.

Kudu was a label formed by Creed Taylor, who had been responsible for some of the most popular jazz recordings ever made on his CTI label.
Taylor's approach to jazz was to frame original songs, pop and jazz standards, and even contemporary pop and rock hits in orchestral arrangements.
With Kudu, Taylor hoped to create "a fl awareness label, more commercial oriented than CTI and indigenous to the fl popular music of the United States." Grover Washington, Hank Crawford and Lonnie Smith were featured on Kudu, but it is Esther Phillips whose amazing voice had perhaps the biggest influence.

Creed Taylor, who produced the record, and whose first recording with Getz this was, says that Getz “played most of it live — there might have been some little fills” and agrees with my theory that if Getz's mother had died suddenly, a session surely would have been rescheduled.
Further, Taylor says, the acoustics at Webster Hall, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, an Armenian-neighborhood hiring hall that had become RCA's main studio, bled too much to allow for overdubbing.
Taylor's second record with Getz, Jazz Samba, was already a hit by the time of the Hunter College performance; Getz/Gilberto was on the verge of release.

Just as it was with Creed's earlier production work for Verve, the high-gloss production values and compact presentation of the songs seemed to garner these recordings nothing but bad reviews, from critics and musicians alike.
Say what you will, but Creed Taylor has always selected artists who have, at the very least, the gift of stating a melody with tremendous warmth and a very personalized touch.
Even though the soloing was, by most standards, constricted to a chorus, a part of a chorus, or a prescribed number of bars, all the featured players offered improvisations of a special relaxed dignity.
