JASON "MALLETMAN" TAYLOR Swing Band from Wayne, NJ

A pair of mallets fly high up into the air, twirling at least two times before the hands that will strike them against the golden bars of a vibraphone catches the wooden sticks. What happens next is best described as being "hypnotic" as Jason "Malletman" Taylor plays the instrument he loves, while also placing his audience in a trance, as they witness something they have never seen before. Taylor is known for his unique presentation of Jazz, R&B and Swing, creating a signature sound that he calls "Vibrafunk." Taylor is the living protege of the Late Lionel Hampton and has been in the company of such greats as Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, James Brown, Steve Washington, B.B. King , Randy Brecker
