by Andrey Henkin
The saxophone and drum duet has been relatively common to jazz since 1967's Interstellar Space. What initially seems like a limiting format actually has many possibilities. Within the past year, three vastly different interpretations have performed in New York: the freeform blowout of David S. Ware and Rashied Ali; the much quieter and spacey duo of ...

Bobby Bradford: Love's Dream
by Andrey Henkin
The avant-garde has never really endeared itself to the trumpet. More players seemed to have gravitated towards the snarls of the saxophone or the vox humana quality of the trombone. Bobby Bradford is a lesser known but no less accomplished member of the progressive trumpet ranks, even replacing Cherry in Ornette Coleman’s band in the early ...
