Tim Hagans: Trumpet and Musical Elegance
by R.J. DeLuke
Trumpeter Tim Hagans, it appears at times, can almost fly under the radar. His splendid playing has been heard in a variety of contexts over the years, always creative, expressive, expansive. Maria Schneider expresses glee when he's able to be a part of her orchestra and help interpret her musical creations. He's been part of the ...

Jack Cortner Big Band Sound Check Jazzed Media 2009 For someone who waited so long before taking his first swings as leader of his own big band, Jack Cortner shows again on Sound Check, the band's second impressive recording in as many years, that he's got game. He's ...
The Complete On The Corner Sessions
by John Kelman
Much has been written about what is perhaps trumpeter Miles Davis' most controversial album, On The Corner (Columbia, 1972). Already shaken from the electric onslaught of Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), A Tribute To Jack Johnson (Columbia, 1970), and a series of live or, in the case of Live-Evil (Columbia, 1970), largely live releases, it was the ...

Bob Belden: Three Days of Rain
by David Miller
As usual, you can't judge a book by its cover. Bob Belden's original score for the film Three Days of Rain is, plain and simple, an excellent jazz album. There's no way of getting around it. Listen to it and you will be impressed. Sure, Belden's compositions may have been written for the express purpose of ...
Classical Jazz Quartet: Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"
by Jim Santella
Like the Modern Jazz Quartet, the foursome on this new release folds visions of great classical music into a mainstream jazz setting. Tchaikovsky's 1892 ballet has always provided special holiday vibes for the holidays. This year, Bob Belden's musical arrangements have put a new spin on it; still leaving a lot of space for veteran improvisation. ...
Bob Belden: Black Dahlia
by AAJ Staff
Black Dahlia, without a doubt, will be remembered as the most ambitious jazz recording of the year. Rather than a blowing session, influential though blowing sessions may be, Bob Belden's Black Dahlia is an extended story-telling, romantic and fatalistic suite that was three years in the making. In addition, over sixty musicians wre required to fill ...
Bob Belden: Black Dahlia
by Craig Jolley
Black Dahlia comes off better felt than listened to. In the liner notes Bob Belden describes his programmatic suite as a portrait of a mysterious, romantic loner who lived out her brief life through movies in post-WWII Hollywood. He borrows “moody" techniques from 1940's film score writers and gives them a jazzy spin. Miles Davis and ...
