Originally released in 1996 and now re-issued as part of Linn’s ECHO series, 'Years Apart', Martin Taylor’s second recording with his Spirit of Django band, featured a star-studded guest list that included legendary violinist Stéphane Grappelli, Britain’s leading jazz vocalist Claire Martin and pianist Brian Kellock. Released to critical acclaim and public popularity, the album won two British Jazz Award categories: ‘Best Guitar’ and ‘Best Small Group’. ‘As revivalists go, Martin Taylor's Spirit of Django rank among the more ingenious.’ (The Guardian)
