Saxophonists Ben Roseth and actually Matan Chapnizka dominate with flights of jazz fancy, though it is Ospina's ...

by Gordon Marshall

Argenti & Rosa: Boston Gig
by C. Michael Bailey
When Hank Mobley's “Funk in the Deep Freeze" and Eddie Harris' “Freedom Jazz Dance" are brought close together on a recording, hard bop critical mass occurs, giving rise to music like guitarist Enrico Rosa's “Stress Me" that opens the Argenti/Rosa recording, Boston Gig. But this is a controlled detonation. So breezy and strolling ...
Junior Wells & the Aces: Live In Boston 1966
by Nic Jones
Here's a particularly potent exercise in musical archaeology. By the time the year of this recording rolled around, blues singer/harmonicist Junior Wells had been in the music game for nearly fifteen years, and it seems as though every one of those had been a period of learning.
