It's a shame. Billy Taylor's music is played some by other jazz channels, but he's largely forgotten OR ignored for the most part. Most of the usual jazz suspects are there as well as unknown ones. But one has to sometimes go to extraordinary levels to find just ONE Billy Taylor track. So.....thanks for this!
This is probably my favourite version - recorded when Dr Taylor was 75! From the album 'Music Keeps Us Young'.
Agreed. This one’s the best I’ve heard. ❤️💯

This is a national anthem for all those that have been in bondage.
I heard this on the radio last night and it blew my mind!!! Thank you for posting this version.
I have this on vinyl, a French pressing , been searching forever to find online. A masterly recording of a masterpiece.
I can listen to this all day!!
I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free) by Billy Taylor

love this track thank for the sharing good day !!!!!!!!!!
Bro the reharmonisation in the intro is something else
Did that finish on a 6th? The House of the rising Sun did too. It's a jazz chord.
