Saturday Street
Saturday Street is the long awaited follow up to Black Taxi's debut CD
Taken For a Ride. This CD again features the songs of David Wayman and
Terry Bradford, songs that deal with adult emotions and challenges and
provide new surprises for the listener. Over forty musicians were involved
in the recording process, and there are some wonderful performances on
the CD. As with the first, the songs move through a number of styles from
swing to ballads to funk to blues to country gospel.

Reviews For Saturday Street
The fact that Black Taxi's principal performers
and songwriters live in four separate states explains why it's taken two
years to follow up Taken For a Ride. The dynamic pop/jazz mix is, if anything,
even ,more eclectic than before and involved more than 40 musicians. Among
stand-out songs are tender ballads Gone To Water and The Kite, sung with
a level of emotional subtlety few singers achieve. But this is a team
effort, involving the vocal talents of Yasmin Shoobridge, April Ronsisvalle,
Leah Cotterell and newcomer Rachael Kennedy, backed by the Pantazis brothers,
Gerry on drums and Jack on guitars, bassist david Ross and Enio Pozzebon
on keyboards. Add a line-up of brass, reed and string players. You never
know what's next on the musical cab rank.
