Paul Carr: Musically Yours

Read "Musically Yours" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Ex allievo di Arnett Cobb, Paul Carr ne ha ereditato tutta la verve soulful, unita ad un fraseggio robusto e vigoroso tipico della scuola texana.

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 a gig at the now closed Washington, DC jazz club, The One Step Down, where the saxophonist signed “To Paul, Musically Yours, Joe."
