Columbia oversaw various reissue programs of CTI's catalog material, including on CD for the first time. Taylor attempted to buy back the rights to the master tapes in 1989, but the recordings remain with Columbia/Sony BMG with sporadic re-releases coordinated by Didier Deutsch and Arnaldo DeSouteiro. Taylor returned to record production in 1990 with new album releases on CTI, initially distributed through Polygram, and later by Mesa/Bluemoon. Among the artists he signed for CTI in the 90s were Larry Coryell, Jim Beard, Charles Fambrough, Ted Rosenthal, Jim Hall, Bill O'Connell, and Jurgen Friderich.
