Anton Schwartz: Flash Mob

Read "Flash Mob" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


While attending Harvard University, Anton Schwartz held down the first tenor saxophone chair in its jazz band, yet relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he became a significant jazz force, also serving as an educator and mentor.

Anton Schwartz: The Slow Lane

Read "The Slow Lane" reviewed by Jim Santella


With a rich, brawny tenor saxophone tone, Anton Schwartz leads this quartet through a program of slow ballads and medium-tempo fare. His warm saxophone sound captivates the heart and lets you forget the harsh realities. Music for a rainy day? Could be. However, everyone solos and breathes so much subliminal creative energy into the session that ...
