CHAD TAYLOR (drums, vibraphone) was born in Tempe, Arizona in 1973, moved to Chicago with his family when he was 1O years old, and has been playing professionally since he was 14.

In 1991, he moved to New York to play with Lou Donaldson, Julian “Junior" Mance, Leon Parker, and Mark Turner, helped form the free-improvisation group the Life Ensemble in 1993, and returned home in 1996 to help develop the Chicago Underground Orchestra.

He is also part of Chicago’s post-rock scene, where he has recorded and/or collaborated with Brokeback, Isotope 217, Mouse on Mars, SteroLab, Tortoise, Jim O’Rourke, and Sam Prekop. He is currently a member of the Chicago Underground Duo, Trio, Quartet and Orchestra.
