Hailing from East Orange New Jersey, Taurey began studying piano at the age of seven. He loved playing, but by the time he reached the age of fourteen he found that the musical direction he was heading in was not fulfilling – something was missing.
During his last year of high school, a prescient teacher, who was also a distinguished percussionist, Barry Centanni handed Taurey a CD of Oscar Peterson and advised him to listen. He did, and from then on, he knew where he was going. ” I didn’t know a piano could do that!” he recalls and began to focus more on jazz studies.

Taurey secured a regular gig at one of Montréal’s most prestigious jazz clubs, the House Of Jazz as well, he began accompanying Juno Award winning vocalist Ranee Lee, it wasn’t long before he signed with Canada’s premier Jazz label – Justin Time Records – the result of which is Taurey’s captivating debut recording as a leader simply entitled Taurey Butler.
