Times 4: Eclipse
by Glenn Astarita
San Francisco Bay Area quartet Times 4 finely tunes its compositional prowess on Eclipse. Sparked by snappy pulses, and memorable hooks, the unit attains an attractive balance between radio-friendly jazz and several instances of serious-minded improvisation. At times strutting its stuff, the quartet imparts a stylistic up-tempo rendition of sax great John Coltrane's timeless classic, “Naima."

Times 4: Seductivity

This isn't grandfathers' music; but it certainly could be. It takes one to know one, and I do feel that I can ...
