In 1969, he became the first Black music director of a major television program, "The David Frost Show." In 1979, Taylor was elected to the Jazz Hall of Fame, and was voted Musician of the Year by the National Association of Jazz Educators.

The last event of the series features the Woody Shaw Quintet on May 1 at 8 p.m. The third North Carolina native on the series, Woody Shaw is the premier trumpeter and flugelhorn player of the 80's. He has been one of the most consistently fine trumpeters on the scene since coming to national prominence with the Horace Silver Band in 1965. Shaw is not only a brilliant soloist, but also an intelligent musician with a very definite conception of how he wants to present himself and his music. Unlike many of his contempories in jazz, Shaw has not chosen to dilute the traditional integrity of his music by fusing it with rock or pop. But he has created a framework for his quintet that makes it more accessible to audiences than *Altair flies toboth Newark the usual straight-ahead, and White Plains. blowing jazz band.
