Taylor and 9th got together in January of 2002 after brothers Nelvid and Nubal Vidal along with Mario Lima, who played in a reggae garage band, joined with Anthony Baucom and Chris Trujillo and rented a practice studio in downtown San Jose on the corner of Taylor and 9th. With Nelvid, Chris and Mario all being experienced drummers and percussion teachers that have played together since adolescence, the band’s percussive energy and chemistry between the players is well known in local Bay Area circles and makes for an very entertaining show. With a substantial local following that keeps continually growing, T9 is becoming a bay area favorite.
The band recorded an album called “Deep†with 18 tracks of musical fusion which brings a very unique sound to the band. The band is working on the second album which promises to be even more exciting than the first.
Taylor & 9th, more than a location but a vibration.
