David Binney: South
by Julian Derry
South is a hauntingly beautiful album of outstanding compositional innovation. The sheer angularity of the opening horn phrase is like tiptoeing across an exposed arete, the cymbals nervously fluttering wisp-like at your heels, the thinnest melodic bridge that leads you to the relative safety of the song's harmonic center. Here you hunker down, comforted by the ...

Nguyen Le: Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix
by Julian Derry
Jimi Hendrix's greatest quality was the way he engaged his audience. The warm powerful tones of his guitar playing, the near- spiritual journeys through new magical lands of guitar wizardry drew the listener in to share in an emotional embrace. Alas, elements of this Hendrix tribute album conspire to make it an impersonal, less earthy experience. ...
Joel Harrison: Free Country
by Julian Derry
Joel Harrison's Free Country kicks off with a cover version of the late Johnny Cash's “I Walk The Line" in the country style of guest vocalist Norah Jones, but halfway through the first track comes a hint of better, freer things to come, and no doubt the motivation behind the album's title. The album ...
Joel Harrison: Free Country
by Jim Santella
Through his free interpretation of American folk songs and country classics, guitarist Joel Harrison explores the growth patterns that exist under today's expanding jazz umbrella. As a contemporary blues band, Harrison's ensemble slides and moans characteristically to uphold the tradition of this deep-seated music. As a backbeat-driven rock band, the guitarist's arrangements ...
Nguyen Le: Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix
by Todd S. Jenkins
Hallelujah, somebody got it right! One of the banes of the fusion desk is the number of Hendrix knock-offs that come across it. Whether it be an outright tribute or just someone copping a half-dozen licks, nary a guitarist seems to be able to go long without conjuring up Jimi's long-dead ghost. So the arrival of ...

Saxophonist David Binney has assembled such a crew on South : tenorist Chris Potter, guitarist Adam Rogers, pianist Uri Caine, and bassist Scott Colley, plus Brian Blade or Jim Black on drums. The ...
