Paul Carr: Straight Ahead Soul

Read "Straight Ahead Soul" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


If saxophonist Paul Carr could be described in a single word, it would be durable. Carr's two previous recordings--Just Noodlin' (PCJE, 2008) and Musically Yours (PCJE, 2006)--displayed a dependable adherence to the Ray Charles' principles of rhythm and blues. His tone and attack are made of the same precious metal as that of Hank Crawford and ...

Paul Carr: Musically Yours

Read "Musically Yours" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Due qualità esercitate al meglio in questo omaggio a Joe Henderson, pervaso da una trascinante vis hardboppistica. Il suo è un quintetto prestigioso, che avvalendosi della presenza di Mulgrew Miller e ...

Houston's tenor saxophonist Paul Carr has provided, within a short recording career span, a number of intriguing and solid appearances. On his debut, Just Noodlin' (Jazz Karma, 2006), Carr provides a soulful and robust tenor sax in the style of Hank Mobley without seeking any deliberate comparisons.

Remembering one of the great tenor masters of jazz, saxophonist and educator Paul Carr pays homage to the late Joe Henderson by offering an artful session of hard-driving bop with his third album as a leader on Musically Yours. He borrows the title from Henderson, who once autographed an album that Carr brought with him to ...

The Pierce College Jazz Ensemble: The Weekly Dance / Pierced Ears

Read "The Weekly Dance / Pierced Ears" reviewed by Jack Bowers


I first heard the Pierce College Jazz Ensemble at the IAJE Conference in Long Beach, CA, in January 2001 and was quite impressed, enough so to ask director Norm Wallen to keep me in mind for reviews if the ensemble were to record any CDs. After sending a master of the band’s performance at the conference, ...
