John Taylor, Palle Danielsson, Martin France - Giulia's Thursdays (2012)

British pianist John Taylor's Giulia's Thursdays is a tribute to Italian film composer, Carlo Rustichelli. It is the fourth in a series of trio albums that Taylor has made for Cam Jazz. Giuliana's Thursdays is a spirited, lushly romantic outing in which Taylor, bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Martin France shine. Rustichelli wrote well crafted, attractive tunes - but like most screen composers, he relied on orchestration and instrumental texture rather than harmonic invention to sustain interest. His tunes, pretty as they are, do not, ultimately, offer Taylor much to explore in a trio context. Taylor makes the best of the material in front of him - which is to say, more than it had in it before he started - and anyone who has been listening since the masterpiece that is Angel Of The Presence is likely to enjoy it. ~ Extract by Chris May, AAJ.
