Hank Mobley: Another Workout

Read "Hank Mobley: Another Workout" reviewed by Samuel Chell

by Samuel Chell

Hank Mobley Another Workout Blue Note 2006 (1961/1985) I can scarcely remember the last time an anticipated “new" release has afforded as much immediate pleasure as this one. Go with a single horn player--arguably the most melodically fertile tenor saxophonist of his time--and give him the support of a rhythm ...

Pat Martino: Remember: A Tribute To Wes Montgomery

Read "Remember: A Tribute To Wes Montgomery" reviewed by Russ Musto

by Russ Musto

The tribute album allows an artist to document his indebtedness to another's influence on his own style with a more fully formed personal approach and individual voice.

Joe Lovano: Streams of Expression

Read "Streams of Expression" reviewed by Tom Greenland

by Tom Greenland

Joe Lovano never fails to create an impression. Streams of Expression, his eighteenth release for Blue Note, is a suite-within-a-suite that honors and signifies upon a considerable amount of jazz history--cool, modal, avant, bop--with authority and individuality. The centerpiece of the album is the “Birth of the Cool Suite," a tribute to the chamber jazz outings ...

In much the same way that a visual artist paints memorable themes on canvas, Patricia Barber puts her ideas into music by establishing an open avenue of communication with her audience.

Grant Green: Live at Club Mozambique

Read "Live at Club Mozambique" reviewed by Norman Weinstein

by Norman Weinstein

This is some apotheosis of both jazz-funk and Grant Green, just when you thought Blue Note was practicing overexposure by adding yet another Green disk to last year's three discs worth of funky compilations.

British woodwind player Tim Garland has praised Joe Lovano for “the way he looks forward and backwards on the horn simultaneously, covering the whole tradition, yet looking way, way forward at the same time. Nowhere is this more evident than on Streams of Expression, where the woodwind multi-instrumentalist teams up with Third Stream progenitor Gunther Schuller ...
