Hailey Niswanger: Confeddie
by Joshua Weiner
To look at Confeddie, the new self-produced record by Hailey Niswanger with an artfully posed black-and-white photo of the doe-eyed, comely saxophonist on the cover, the thought that may come to mind is “Great, another Candy Dulfer." Never judge a CD by its cover, to paraphrase some wise man (or, more likely, wise woman) lost to ...
Bill Carrothers: Joy Spring
by Dan Bilawsky
Tribute albums often come in the form of imitative musical gestures from musicians of a like-instrument--such as a saxophonist paying tribute to John Coltrane by trying to copy his style or specific mannerisms.
