Chloe Brisson: Blame It On My Youth

Read "Blame It On My Youth" reviewed by David A. Orthmann


Chloe Brisson, a young, prodigiously talented singer in the early stages of a presumably long and fruitful career, had the good fortune to record in exactly the right circumstances. Saxophonist Fred Haas, Brisson's teacher and mentor, wrote arrangements for thirteen tracks that are tailor-made for her voice and interpretative skills. Nonetheless, Blame It On My Youth ...

Are You Sure, Bobby?

Read "Are You Sure, Bobby?" reviewed by Jack Bowers


In late March, I received an e-mail from trumpeter Bobby Shew. He said he'd performed a gig in West Palm Beach, FL, and had met my brothers, whom he described as “nice guys." My first impulse was to write back and ask if he could have been mistaken. My brothers? Nice guys? Well, the fact is ...

Read "Telling Stories" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

Fred Haas and Bob Hallahan: I Thought About You

Read "I Thought About You" reviewed by Mike Neely


Fred Haas is a musician one can only hope will keep recording because not even the jazz media is eternally obtuse. His recording I Thought About You highlights his tenor saxophone accompanied by pianist Bob Hallahan. This CD is a world away from a breezy throw together session. It documents a subtle, sophisticated exchange by two ...

Fred Haas & Gene Bertoncini: Interplay

Read "Interplay" reviewed by Mike Neely


Saxophonist Fred Haas and guitarist Gene Bertoncini have recorded a high wire act of a duet CD entitled Interplay. This is intimate music that leaves these two players out front with only their own resources and each other to depend on. They succeed, wonderfully. It is a musical lesson to listen to Bertoncini play behind Haas’s ...
