Taylor Made Jazz is an album by American jazz pianist Billy Taylor featuring tracks recorded in 1959 and released on the Argo label. The album features the many alumni of Duke Ellington's orchestra performing arrangements by Johnny Pate
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "though this isn't one of those small Ellingtonian unit sessions, it's just about the next best thing. Having assembled several members of Duke's band and written eight definitely Duke-influenced tunes, pianist/composer Billy Taylor's Taylor Made Jazz would probably have been marketed as a "tribute album" if it had been released recently".
