Read "Altitude" reviewed by John Sharpe


Guitarist Joe Morris is on a roll. Hardly a month goes by without a new release featuring the Boston-based musician. Of course, he doubled his chances by adding acoustic bass to his armory alongside his six-stringed axe. It's the latter he wields on this trio date featuring bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver, captured at ...

Joe Morris/ William Parker/ Gerald Cleaver: Altitude

Read "Altitude" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Of all the possible combinations and permutations of modern improvising jazzmen, it's a wonder that the trio of guitarist Joe Morris, bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver have never worked together as a unit. Luckily in 2011, at the urging of label chief Steven Joerg, the trio got together for two sets at The Stone ...

Mary Halvorson Quintet: Bending Bridges

Read "Bending Bridges" reviewed by Troy Collins


The widely celebrated 2010 debut of Mary Halvorson's Quintet, Saturn Sings (Firehouse 12), confirmed the young guitarist's growing reputation with a selection of urbane compositions as impressive as her idiosyncratic improvisations.

David S. Ware: Organica

Read "Organica" reviewed by Nic Jones


If it wasn't apparent before that David S. Ware has gravity, now it is. There's always been authority in his saxophone playing, but with the passing of time the gravity of his work has become more apparent, as if every note he plays is now invested with the wealth of life's experiences. This ...

David S. Ware / Cooper-Moore / William Parker / Muhammad Ali: Planetary Unknown

Read "Planetary Unknown" reviewed by Troy Collins


Renowned saxophonist David S. Ware continues to explore new avenues following his successful kidney transplant two years ago.

Planetary Unknown surpasses even these notable recordings, featuring an ...
