Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor will make a rare US appearance in May. Taylor will play a week of shows at New York’s The Iridium from May 9-14. The final night of the run will mark the launch of “Guitar World & The Iridium Present,” a new monthly series highlighting the world’s best guitarists performing with The Les Paul Trio. Taylor will perform from May 9-13 with an all-star band featuring Max Middleon (keyboards), Wilbur Bascomb (bass), Bernard “Pretty” Purdie (drums), and Jon Paris (guitar/vocals). For May 14th’s Guitar World & The Iridium Present show, Taylor will be joined by Middleton and The Les Paul Trio. The guitarist is rumored to perform with The Rolling Stones in 2013 as part of their 50th anniversary tour.
