The Bob Mintzer Big Band: Homage to Count Basie
by Jack Bowers
Anyone who can take my least favorite Basie recording, “April in Paris,” and make it sound as captivating as Bob Mintzer does on Homage to Count Basie (no “one more time!” or “one more once!”) has earned an enthusiastic thumbs–up without taking another step.

Bob Mintzer Quartet: Quality Time
by Jack Bowers
As “quality time” is wholly subjective, others may find time spent with saxophonist Bob Mintzer’s quartet(s) far more pleasurable than I.
