And so, while ...

The Abercrombie/Erskine/Mintzer/Patitucci Band: Live in New York City

The Bob Mintzer Big Band: Gently
by Jack Bowers
Bob Mintzer, who is known to favor fiery Latin rhythms and big-band charts with an abundance of punch and power, has a softer side too, one that is laid bare on this understated but no less invigorating new release, his fourteenth (or fifteenth? I've lost count) on the dmp label. 'I think I've... reached a point,' ...
