Taylor's trio recording with Johnson and Baron was released early in 2003, and September 2003 saw the release of his solo CD "Insight" on Sketch. John Fordham wrote in "The Guardian": "This is one of contemporary jazz's great performers at work ... a beautiful solo statement by a very modest star." In 2004 Taylor recorded "Where Do We Go from Here?" in duo with Kenny Wheeler and "Nightfall" with bassist Charlie Haden. They subsequently performed at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Also that year Taylor formed a new trio with Palle Danielsson and Martin France. They performed at the Vancouver Jazz Festival and recorded "Angel of the Presence" for CAM Jazz. This recording was released in January 2006 to coincide with their UK tour and has received critical acclaim.
