Andrew Rathbun: Shadow Forms

Read "Shadow Forms" reviewed by Ken Dryden

by Ken Dryden

Canadian jazz musicians are frequently overlooked by American jazz fans unless they record for a US-based label, but ignore Andrew Rathbun at your own risk. There is a lot to like about Shadow Forms, as there are plenty of surprising twists within these intimate performances. This talented multi-instrumentalist, primarily heard on tenor sax, ...

Andrew Rathbun: Shadow Forms

Read "Shadow Forms" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

For some reason, I never associated Andrew Rathbun with the Canadian scene, especially as embodied in the ever-expanding circle of David Braid and Mike Murley. There is something in his playing and compositions, just like Kenny Wheeler, that I cannot place--and which renders him distinct from the others. In any case, Shadow Forms ...

Andrew Rathbun: Shadow Forms

Read "Shadow Forms" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

After a series of challenging and complex recordings, saxophonist Andrew Rathbun gives us his “unplugged" album, minus the larger ensembles present on his earlier releases. The seven-piece Jade (FSNT, 2000) with vocalist Luciana Souza, the recording of Margaret Atwood's poetry on True Stories (Blue Moon, 2001), and even his quintet recording Sculptures (FSNT, 2002) with Kenny ...

Andrew Rathbun / George Colligan: Renderings: The Art of the Duo

Read "Renderings: The Art of the Duo" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

Renderings could be the perfect album for the jazz lover who thinks he doesn't like classical music, or vice versa. The recording is extremely beautiful for many reasons, in no small part because of the classical music chosen on which to improvise, as well as the leaders' own classically inspired compositions. From the ...

Andrew Rathbun & George Colligan: Renderings: The Art of the Duo

Read "Renderings: The Art of the Duo" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Renderings is a no-net duo set featuring Andrew Rathbun on soprano saxophone (tenor on one number) and George Colligan on piano. The title of the opening tune--Maurice Ravel's “Menuet Sur Le Nom Du Hayden," the French impressionist's homage to the great classical composer--clues you in as to what to expect. The sound is one of understated ...

Andrew Rathbun-Owen Howard Quintet: Days Before and After

Read "Days Before and After" reviewed by Paul Olson

by Paul Olson

Jazz is about more than soloing. The real meat of the music is in the collective interplay of the ensemble, the responses of one musician to what another has just done, all in real time: this is happening right now. You're not going to find a more fascinating demonstration of unique musical communication than Days Before ...
