As well as appearing on Stills' eponymous first solo album in 1970, Taylor was also the drummer for Stills' group Manassas^[2] in 1972 and 1973. He also played with Van Morrison at the 1974 Montreux Jazz Festival in a quartet along with keyboardist Pete Wingfield and bassist Jerome Rimson, a performance issued on the 2006 DVD, Live at Montreux 1980/1974. He briefly surfaced in the mid-70's drumming for Paul Butterfield's touring band.
